Aggregating Logistics Reliability Coefficients

A logistics coordinator is merging two reliability coefficients for different shipping lanes to determine a total system rating. Lane X is represented by the expression 3y4y3\frac{3y}{4y-3} and Lane Y is represented by 74y3\frac{7}{4y-3}. To calculate the 'Aggregate Reliability,' the coordinator must add these two expressions together. Identify the resulting expression and describe the two-step procedure used to find and verify the sum based on the rules for common denominators.
