\frac{7}{8}-\frac{x}{-y}
Factor -y.
\frac{7y}{8y}-\frac{-8x}{8y}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 8 and -y is 8y. Multiply \frac{7}{8} times \frac{y}{y}. Multiply \frac{x}{-y} times \frac{-8}{-8}.
\frac{7y-\left(-8x\right)}{8y}
Since \frac{7y}{8y} and \frac{-8x}{8y} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{7y+8x}{8y}
Do the multiplications in 7y-\left(-8x\right).
