Question

The sum of seven and the quotient of a number x and eight.

Answer 1

`(56+x)/(8)`

Explanation:

Given the statement:

The sum of seven and the quotient of a number x and eight

Here, x be the number.

" quotient of a number x and eight" translated to
`(x)/(8)`

Sum means '+'

"sum of seven and the quotient of a number x and eight" translated to
`7+(x)/(8)`

then; the given statement is

`7+(x)/(8)`

⇒
`(56+x)/(8)`

Therefore, the given statement is
`(56+x)/(8)`

Answer 2

ANSWER


`(56 + x)/(8)`


EXPLANATION

We want to find the sum of the expression,


`7 + (x)/(8)`
We can rewrite this as

`(7)/(1) + (x)/(8)`



We first of all collect LCM to obtain,



`= (7 * 8 + x)/(8)`


We now simplify to obtain,


`= (56 + x)/(8)`
