1 answer

To simplify the expression 3/(7x) + 2/(7x), we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 7x.

Using the common denominator, we can rewrite the expression as (3 + 2)/(7x), which simplifies to 5/(7x).

So, the simplified expression is 5/(7x).

Therefore, the correct answer choice is 5 over 7x.
