Here we go. This is the problem as I understand it.

First, make one big fraction.

Now we get ride of negative exponents. Move to the other side of the fraction and change the sign.

Get rid of all the parentheses we don't need, and move all variables into order.

Combined like terms, x's, y's by adding exponents together.

Simplify by subtracting exponents on either side of the fraction, smaller from bigger, and reducing the whole number.

That's it.
Anymore questions feel free to ask me.
