57x

Answer 1

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

1. Both terms have the same denominator (7) and the variable \( x \).
2. We can add the coefficients \( 3 \) and \( 2 \):

\[ \frac{3 + 2}{7} x = \frac{5}{7} x \]

Thus, the simplified expression is:

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

Therefore, the correct response is:

57x (Start Fraction 5 over 7 End Fraction x)
