Answer: it should be 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1. Factor in the given variables.
(xy + 1) ÷ 7 becomes ((5)(11) + 1) ÷ 7
Step 2. Do the first part in parentheses
so (5) x (11) which is 55.
Step 3. Add together the full parentheses
so 55 + 1 which is 56
Final step, divide.
56 divided by 7 equals 8.
