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

Since both terms have a common factor of \( \frac{1}{7}x \), we can add the coefficients:

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

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

The correct answer is:

5/7x (Start Fraction 5 over 7 End Fraction x).
