Which of the following rational expressions could be simplified?

*
2 points

Option 1: 7x/5x+7

Option 2:

Option 3:

1 answer

To determine which rational expressions can be simplified, we need to look for any common factors in the numerator and denominator.

  1. Option 1: \( \frac{7x}{5x+7} \)

    In this expression, the numerator is \( 7x \) and the denominator is \( 5x + 7 \). There are no common factors in the numerator and the denominator (since \( 5x + 7 \) cannot be factored and \( 7x \) does not share any factors with it). Thus, this expression cannot be simplified.

  2. Option 2: (please provide the expression)

  3. Option 3: (please provide the expression)

Please provide the expressions for Options 2 and 3 so I can assist you further in determining if they can be simplified.
