Problem 66
Question
Add or subtract as indicated. Simplify the result, if possible. $$7+\frac{1}{x-5}$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The simplified expression is \(7+\frac{1}{x-5}\).
1Step 1: Identify The Expression
The given expression is \(7+\frac{1}{x-5}\). In this expression, \(x\) is a variable, and \(7\) is a constant.
2Step 2: Identify Possible Simplifications
In this case, there are no fractions with the same denominators or any other like terms that can be added or subtracted to simplify the expression.
3Step 3: Final Expression
Since we can't simplify the expression any further, the final expression remains as \(7+\frac{1}{x-5}\).
