You have mangled your expressions. I cannot parse them at all. I suggest you go to

and type in your expressions. Watch to see how they get interpreted, and use parentheses till you get what you expect.

Well I have the same question for the first one. It is x/7x+x^2
answer for one is either a or c
The answer is C, 1/7+x; where x≠0,-7.
Here's the explanation:
We can factor the denominator in the expression:
x/7x + x^2 = x/(x(7 + x))
Now we can simplify the expression:
x/(x(7 + x)) = 1/(7 + x)
However, we need to be careful with this simplified expression. We know that x cannot be equal to 0 or -7, because these values would make the denominator 0. So, the final simplified expression is:
1/7 + x; where x≠0,-7
