The simplified form of the expression is
(5 x r)/(3 x^2 y)+(7 x r)/(3 y)=(5 x r y+7 x^2 r)/(3 x^2 y)

To simplify the expression
$(5 x r)/(3 x^2 y)+(7 x r)/(3 y)$, let's find a common denominator and combine the fractions.

Factor out the common terms from both denominators.

5 x r has a denominator of
$3 x^2 y$ and 7xr has a denominator of 3y.

Find the least common denominator (LCD) for
$3 x^2 y$ and
$3 y$.

The LCD is
$3 x^2 y$ as it encompasses both denominators.

Rewrite the fractions with the LCD.


& (5 x r)/(3 x^2 y)=(5 x r \cdot y)/(3 x^2 y \cdot y)=(5 x r y)/(3 x^2 y^2) \\& (7 x r)/(3 y)=(7 x r \cdot x)/(3 y \cdot x)=(7 x^2 r)/(3 x^2 y)

Combine the fractions with the common denominator.


(5 x r y)/(3 x^2 y^2)+(7 x^2 r)/(3 x^2 y)=(5 x r y+7 x^2 r)/(3 x^2 y)

Question:

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