Question

What is the sum of the expressions
(2/7x-6) and (3/7x+8)?

Answer 1

`(5)/(7)` x + 2

Explanation:

(
`(2)/(7)` x - 6) + (
`(3)/(7)` x + 8) ← remove parenthesis

=
`(2)/(7)` x - 6 +
`(3)/(7)` x + 8 ← collect like terms

= (
`(2)/(7)` x +
`(3)/(7)` x ) + ( - 6 + 8 )

=
`(2+3)/(7)` x + 2

=
`(5)/(7)` x + 2

Answer 2

To find the sum of the expressions (2/7x-6) and (3/7x+8), we need to add them together. When we add the expressions, we get:

(2/7x-6) + (3/7x+8) = (2+3)/(7x) + (-6+8) = 5/(7x) + 2

This simplifies to:

5/(7x) + 2 = (5+14x)/(7x) = 19/(7x)

So the sum of the expressions (2/7x-6) and (3/7x+8) is (19/(7x)).
