To simplify the expression \( \frac{3}{7}x + \frac{2}{7}x \), you can combine the like terms:
\[
\frac{3}{7}x + \frac{2}{7}x = \left(\frac{3}{7} + \frac{2}{7}\right)x = \frac{5}{7}x
\]
Thus, the simplified expression is \( \frac{5}{7}x \).
The correct answer is **C: \( \frac{5}{7}x \)**.
\[
\frac{3}{7}x + \frac{2}{7}x = \left(\frac{3}{7} + \frac{2}{7}\right)x = \frac{5}{7}x
\]
Thus, the simplified expression is \( \frac{5}{7}x \).
The correct answer is **C: \( \frac{5}{7}x \)**.
