Simplify 5x^3/7x^3+x^4

Is the answer 5/7+x where x is not equal to 0,-7?

3 answers

yes

but online, there is an implied order of operations, and parentheses are required to avoid ambiguity

5/7+x could be either
5/7 + x
or
5/(7+x) which is what you wanted.

In the absence of parens, multiplication and division are done before addition and subtraction., so 5/7+x is interpreted as (5/7)+x
Okay, thank you.
Anyone got the answers for the test?
