Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is

(A) 3x plus 3 over x plus 7.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the simplified form of the following expression :

"5x plus 4 over x plus 7 minus the fraction 2x plus 1 over x plus 7".

The given expression can be written and simplified as follows :

`(5x+4)/(x+7)-(2x+1)/(x+7)\\\\\\=((5x+4)-(2x+1))/(x+7)\\\\\\=(5x+4-2x-1)/(x+7)\\\\\\=(3x+3)/(x+7).`

Thus, the required simplified form is

"3x plus 3 over x plus 7".

Option (A) is CORRECT.
