Answer:

x+7

Explanation:

If x is always greater than -7, then the value of the equation will always be positive, rendering the absolute value bars obsolete. Observe:

If x = -6, -6 + 7 = 1. With or without absolute value, this equals 1.

If x = 2, 2 + 7 = 9.

If x = 9, 9 + 7 = 16.

And so on and so forth.
