Simplify the following expression (3 + 8x) + 7x

Hello there, hope your having a great day! So first of all we would write it down again (3+8x) + 7x. We would collect like terms, first all the x! So it would be 3+ 8x+7x



So 3 remains there so it becomes 3+15x, now they both can be divided by 3.
So answer would be 1+5x

as a fraction it would be 70/100 which would convert to 7/10
