Calculation:
Consider the expression
Recall that the simplest form of an algebraic fraction is when numerator and denominator have no common factor other than 1 and
So, take out
To restrict the variable, exclude the value that makes the denominator zero.
Since, there is no variable in the denominator, so, there is no restrictions on the variables x and y.
Thus, the simplified value of the expression
