Simplify 3/7x + 2/7x

using properties of operations.(1 point)

1 answer

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

Since both terms have the same coefficient \( \frac{1}{7} \) and the variable \( x \):

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

Thus, the simplified expression is:

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