Answer 1

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

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

So the simplified expression is:

\[
\frac{5}{7} x
\]

Therefore, the correct response is:

**5/7 x**
