How to input this into WolframAlpha???

Have no idea how to type this in properly :(..

You could try like this

((x^2 + x)/7) (28/(x y + y))

P.

Didn’t work… the program thinks this is what I tried to input…

Anyone else???

You cannot facing the extreme intelligence of WA because non-atomic symbol names seem to become interpreted as a product

which is the conventional meaning, indeed. Just use poor man’s solution calling your xy variable simply z.

P.S.: The habit to interpret xx as x^2 can be justified by e.g. Newton’s handwriting, starting with the third power an exponent was used, the second power was written by repetition of the symbol …

(x^2+x)/728/(xy+y)

This is the corresponding input.

Sorry if I’m misreading the expression, but isn’t that equivalent to what you wanted to input?
