ANSWER


D)7

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the value of x for which the function given is not a real number:


f(x)=(x+3)/(x-7)

For a fraction not to be a real number, the denominator of the fraction has to be equal to 0.

This implies that:


\begin{gathered} x-7=0 \\ \Rightarrow x=7 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is option D.
