Does putting like that help?
\(\displaystyle \displaystyle \frac{5x^3y^2+xy^4}{xy} = \frac{5x^3y^2}{xy}+\frac{xy^4}{xy}\)
\(\displaystyle \displaystyle \frac{5x^3y^2+xy^4}{xy} = \frac{5x^3y^2}{xy}+\frac{xy^4}{xy}\)
Hi Traci,
You could factor out an xy in the numerator like this and then simplify:
\(\displaystyle \frac{5x^3y^2+xy^4}{xy}=\frac{xy(5x^2y+y^3)}{xy}\)
