5/14x^2

Answer 1

To simplify \( \frac{3}{7}x + \frac{2}{7}x \), you can combine the fractions since they have the same denominator:

\[ \frac{3}{7}x + \frac{2}{7}x = \left(\frac{3 + 2}{7}\right)x = \frac{5}{7}x \]

So, the simplified expression is \( \frac{5}{7}x \).

The correct response is:

5/7x
