Problem 56
Question
Simplify each rational expression. If the rational expression cannot be simplified, so state. $$\frac{x}{x+7}$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The rational expression \(\frac{x}{x+7}\) cannot be simplified further.
1Step 1: Identify the Numerator and the Denominator
In this rational expression \(\frac{x}{x+7}\), the numerator is 'x' and the denominator is 'x+7'.
2Step 2: Searching for common factors
Look for common factors between 'x' (numerator) and 'x+7' (denominator). In this case, there are none.
3Step 3: Final Expression
As there are no common factors, the simplified expression is the same as the original one, which is \(\frac{x}{x+7}\).
