2012 AIME II Problem 9

Let x and y be real numbers such that \frac{\sin x}{\sin y} = 3 and \frac{\cos x}{\cos y} = \frac12. The value of \frac{\sin 2x}{\sin 2y} + \frac{\cos 2x}{\cos 2y} can be expressed in the form \frac pq, where p and q are relatively prime positive integers. Find p+q.

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
