3/(5x) + x = 3/(5x) + x/1 * (5x)/(5x)
= 3/(5x) + 5x²/5x
= (3+5x²) / 5x

Answer:


(8x)/(5)

Explanation:

Given that,


(3)/(5)x+x

In the given expression simplify the two terms

First we make the conman denominator of both term

denominator of first term is 5 and second term is 1.

We find the least common denominator of 5 and 1

That is 5

Multiply by 5 at numerator and denominator with second term


\Rightarrow (3x)/(5)+(5x)/(5)

write as common denominator, 5


\Rightarrow (3x+5x)/(5)

Combine the numerator, 3x+5x


\Rightarrow (8x)/(5)

Hence, The simplified form will be
(8x)/(5)
