For this case we have the following expression:


((3x)/(5)-7)+7

We can solve the problem by associative property for addition.

Applying the associative property we have:


(3x)/(5)+(-7+7)

Rewriting we have:


(3x)/(5)+0


(3x)/(5)

Answer:

The equivalent expression is given by:


(3x)/(5)

option B
