Let's solve each of the given problems step by step.

Problem 7:
$$
\frac{4y}{y-3} - \frac{5y}{y-3} + \frac{2y}{y-3}
$$
Step 1: All terms have the same denominator, $ y - 3 $, so we can combine the numerators directly:
$$
\frac{4y - 5y + 2y}{y - 3}
$$
Step 2: Simplify the numerator:
$$
4y - 5y + 2y = (4 - 5 + 2)y = 1y = y
$$
So the expression becomes:
$$
\frac{y}{y - 3}
$$
✔ Answer for Problem 7:
$$
\boxed{\frac{y}{y - 3}}
$$

Problem 9:
$$
\frac{6xy^2}{4a + 12} + \frac{3xy^2}{4a + 12} - \frac{xy^2}{4a + 12}
$$
Step 1: All terms have the same denominator, $ 4a + 12 $. So combine the numerators:
$$
\frac{6xy^2 + 3xy^2 - xy^2}{4a + 12}
$$
Step 2: Simplify the numerator:
$$
6xy^2 + 3xy^2 - xy^2 = (6 + 3 - 1)xy^2 = 8xy^2
$$
So the expression becomes:
$$
\frac{8xy^2}{4a + 12}
$$
Step 3: Simplify the denominator:
Factor $ 4a + 12 $:
$$
4a + 12 = 4(a + 3)
$$
So:
$$
\frac{8xy^2}{4(a + 3)} = \frac{8}{4} \cdot \frac{xy^2}{a + 3} = 2 \cdot \frac{xy^2}{a + 3}
$$
✔ Answer for Problem 9:
$$
\boxed{\frac{2xy^2}{a + 3}}
$$

✔ Final Answers:
-
Problem 7: $ \boxed{\frac{y}{y - 3}} $
-
Problem 9: $ \boxed{\frac{2xy^2}{a + 3}} $
