Because of the order of operations, you need to multiply and divide before adding and subtracting. Therefore, first you must multiply 5/6th with 3/7ths, getting 15/42. Then, on the other side, you must multiply 7/3ths with 7/9ths, getting 49/27ths.
So, now we know the equation is
15/42 + 49/27.
In order to add the fractions, you must find a common denominator. In this case, 378 can be a common denominator for both 42 and 27.
Since 42 goes into 378 9 times, you multiply the first fraction by 9, getting 135/378. Since 27 goes into 378 14 times, you multiply the second fraction by 14, getting 686/378
Now the equation is
135/378 + 686/378
Now that you have a common denominator you can add the fractions numerator's together to get
821/378
Because 821 is a prime number, the fraction cannot be simplified further.

5/6 x 3/7= 15/42
7/3 / 7/9 =7/3 x 9/7=21/7=3
15/42 +3= 3 15/42= 3 3/14

(5/6)(3/7)+(7/3)(7/9)
step 1: multiply 5/9 and 3/7 you get 15/42

First cancel the 6 with the 3: (5/2)(1/7)
Now multiply each out
5/14 + 49/27
Now find the common denom. 14 times 27
Multiply top & bottom of first fraction by 27 and top & bottom of second by 14
Then add the tops, but keep the bottom whatever 14X27 is

(5*3)/(6*7)+(7*7)/(3*9)
15/42+49/27
(15/42)*(27/27)+(49/27)*(42/42)
(15*27)/(42*27)+(49*42)/(27*42)
(405)/(1134)+(2058)/(1134)
(405+2058)/(1134)
(2463)/(1134)
Reduce
