Before we try dealing with the whole expression, we focus on simplifying the two factors individually by rewriting them using a common denominator:


xy+x2yx=yxxyyx+x2yxyx=xy=yxxy2+x2yx=yxxy2+x2=yxx22xy+y2+x2=yxx2+2xyy2+x2=yx2xyy2=yxy2xy


y2xy1=y2xy2xy2xy=2xyy2xy=2xyy2x+y=2xy2y2x=2xy2yx


Then, we multiply the factors together and simplify by elimination:


xy+x2yxy2xy1=yxy2xy2xy2yx=2y
