The correct answer is (1/y) - (1/xy) but i don't understand why
What does the sum of xy not equaling zero imply that we can do to the equation to solve it?
GRE Sample Question, explanation? Thanks

If xy != 0, then neither x nor y = 0.
Rewrite (x - 1)/(xy) as two separate fractions. What do you get?
