the way you typed it:
x/7x+x^2
= (1/7)x^2 + x^2
= (8/7)x^2 -----> none of the choices
if you meant:
x/(7x)+x^2
= 1/7 + x^2 -----> none of the choices
If you meant:
x/(7x+x^2)
= x/(x(7+x))
= 1/(7+x) , x ≠ 0 -----> none of the choices
one of the choices could fit the last one, namely C, if you had included the brackets.
see how critical and essential those brackets are
Please can someone help me.
1.Simplify x/7x+x^2
A.1/7+x;where x≠-7
B.1/7x;where x≠0
C.1/7+x;where x≠0,-7

looks like Steve gave you some important advice on this type of question yesterday.

You apparently chose to ignore his suggestion, and posted this question exactly the same way
