You can substitute a number in for x and compare the answer choices (not the most efficient way but it's how I would do it). Let's just say x = 5. Then the expression would equal 0.25819889. Substitute 5 in for x is the answer choices and see which one is the same.

A) simplified is 0.004 repeating

B) simplified is 0.25819889

C) simplified is 0.12

D) simplified is 1.341640786

We can see that B is the right answer
