#dy/dx=-(y/sqrt(1+x)+2sqrt(1+y))/(x/sqrt(1+y)+2sqrt(1+x))#

Explanation:

#"differentiate "color(blue)"implicitly with respect to x"#

#"differentiate "xsqrt(1+y)" and "ysqrt(1+x)" using "#
#"the "color(blue)"product rule"#

#rArrx(1+y)^(1/2)+y(1+x)^(1/2)=0#

#rArr(x . 1/2(1+y)^(-1/2).dy/dx+(1+y)^(1/2))#

#+(y . 1/2(1+x)^(-1/2)+(1+x)^(1/2).dy/dx)=0#

#rArr1/2x(1+y)^(-1/2)dy/dx+(1+x)^(1/2)dy/dx#

#=-1/2y(1+x)^(-1/2)-(1+y)^(1/2)#

#rArrdy/dx(1/2x(1+y)^(-1/2)+(1+x)^(1/2))#

#=-1/2(y(1+x)^(-1/2)+2(1+y)^(1/2))#

#rArrdy/dx=-(cancel(1/2)(y(1+x)^(-1/2)+2(1+y)^(1/2)))/(cancel(1/2)(x(1+y)^(-1/2)+2(1+x)^(1/2))#

#color(white)(rArrdy/dx)=-(y/sqrt(1+x)+2sqrt(1+y))/(x/sqrt(1+y)+2sqrt(1+x))#
