Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{2x-3}{x^{2}y}$

Work Step by Step

We first add the two fractions in the brackets, common denominator : xy $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}\cdot\frac{x-3+1\cdot x}{xy}=\frac{1}{x}\cdot\frac{x-3+x}{xy}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}\cdot\frac{2x-3}{xy}$ Multiplying fractions: $=\displaystyle \frac{1\cdot(2x-3)}{x\cdot xy}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{2x-3}{x^{2}y}$
