Accepted Solution
A:
ANSWER
[tex] \frac{56 + x}{8} [/tex]
EXPLANATION
We want to find the sum of the expression,
[tex]7 + \frac{x}{8} [/tex]
We can rewrite this as
[tex] \frac{7}{1} + \frac{x}{8} [/tex]
We first of all collect LCM to obtain,
[tex] = \frac{7 \times 8 + x}{8} [/tex]
We now simplify to obtain,
[tex] = \frac{56 + x}{8} [/tex]
