Answer:


13x

Explanation:

Starting with the initial expression:


25x^2 / 5x + 8x^2 / x

We need to find a common denominator between the two terms so that they can be added together. In this case, that can be done by multiplying the second term by 5/5:


25x^2 / 5x + 8x^2 / x * 5/5\\= 25x^2 / 5x + 40x^2 / 5x

Now simplify the two terms:

=
5x + 8x\\

and add them together:


= 13x
