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: \( \frac{5}{7}x \).
