The simplified expression is
(5r+7x^2r)/3xy. This result is obtained by finding a common denominator, combining fractions, and factoring out common terms, yielding a simplified form.

Let's evaluate the simplification:


\[ (5xr)/(3x^2y) + (7xr)/(3y) \]

To combine the fractions, find a common denominator, which is
\(3x^2y\):


\[ (5xr \cdot 3y)/(3x^2y \cdot 3y) + (7xr \cdot 3x^2y)/(3y \cdot 3x^2y) \]

Simplify the numerators:


\[ (15xyr)/(9x^2y) + (21x^2yr)/(9x^2y) \]

Combine the numerators:


\[ (15xyr + 21x^2yr)/(9x^2y) \]

Factor out common terms:


\[ (3xr(5y + 7x))/(9x^2y) \]

Now, simplify the fraction by canceling common factors:


\[ (5r+7x^2r)/(3xy) \]

The simplified expression is
\((5r+7x^2r)/(3xy)\).
