First the LCD for this problem is x%5E2%28x-3%29+. You must multiply the first fraction numerator and denominator by (x-3), and you must multiply the second denominator by x. Did you follow all of that?

2y%2F%28x%5E2%29%2B7%2F%28x%28x-3%29%29+.

+%282y%2F%28x%5E2%29%29%2A%28%28x-3%29%2F%28x-3%29%29+%2B+%287%2F%28x%28x-3%29%29%29%2A%28x%2Fx%29++.

+%282y%28x-3%29+%2B7x%29%2F%28x%5E2%28x-3%29%29++.

%282xy+-6y+%2B+7x%29%2F+%28x%5E2%28x-4%29%29+

I think that's about all you can do with it. You can rearrange the numerator, but it doesn't simplify anything, and it doesn't factor.
