Documentation of Rational Expression Addition for Performance Metrics

You are preparing a technical documentation update for a series of performance metrics used in your department. One of the aggregation procedures requires adding two specific algebraic expressions: 3y4y3\frac{3y}{4y-3} and 74y3\frac{7}{4y-3}.

In the style of a training manual, describe the step-by-step process for adding these two expressions. Your response must address the following:

  1. How the common denominator is handled during the addition.
  2. The specific steps taken to combine the numerators.
  3. The final combined expression resulting from the addition.
  4. An explanation of whether the final result can be simplified further and why.
