Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( \frac{3}{7}x + \frac{2}{7}x \), you can combine the like terms.

1. Add the coefficients:
\[
\frac{3}{7} + \frac{2}{7} = \frac{3 + 2}{7} = \frac{5}{7}
\]

2. Combine with \( x \):
\[
\frac{5}{7}x
\]

So, the simplified expression is:
\[
\frac{5}{7}x
\]

Thus, the correct response is:
**\( \frac{5}{7}x \)**.
