Answer:

Explanation:

All you can do here to "simplify" the given expression is to rewrite it as a single fraction. The LCD is x.

Multiply each term by x, combine the result, and then divide the entire result by x:

x(1/x + 5 - 3x) 1 + 5x - 3x²

-------------------- = -------------------- This result cannot be simplified further.
