Answer:

(x + 45) / 5

Explanation:

Next time, please use parentheses to show which operations need to be done first.

In this case I'm assuming that you have the rational expression

x - 5

--------- + 10

5

This could be simplified by expressing 10 as 50/5, which can be combined with

x - 5

--------

5

as follows:

x - 5 50 x + 45

-------- + ------ = ---------------

5 5 5
