3 answers

(x + 4)/7 + 5x

First, multiply (x + 4)/7 by 5 to get (5x + 20)/7

Now rewrite the expression as:
(5x + 20)/7 + 5x

Now find a common denominator and combine the fractions:
(5x + 20 + 35x) / 7
= (40x + 20) / 7

Thus, the simplified expression is (40x + 20)/7.
incorrect
I apologize for the error. Let's simplify the expression correctly:

(x + 4)/7 + 5x

To simplify, first find a common denominator:

(x + 4)/7 + 5x * 7/7
= (x + 4)/7 + 35x/7

Now combine the fractions:

(x + 4 + 35x)/7
= (36x + 4)/7

Therefore, the simplified expression is (36x + 4)/7.
