Final answer:

To simplify and reduce the expression (8)/(x)-(7)/(y), find a common denominator and combine the fractions by subtracting the numerators.

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify and reduce the expression (8)/(x)-(7)/(y), we need to find a common denominator for x and y. The common denominator for x and y is xy. So, we multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by y and the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by x:

(8y)/(xy)-(7x)/(xy)

Now we can combine the fractions by subtracting the numerators:

(8y-7x)/(xy)

This is the simplified and reduced form of the expression.
