Question 373629: Polynomials. Find a value of the variable that shows that the two expressions are not equivalent. Answers may vary.
a + 7
______; a
7

Just pick any number other than zero. This will be the "a". Then replace the "a" in the fraction with that number and simplify the fraction. If you simplify correctly (add 7 and then divide by 7), you will find that the fraction does not work out to be the same as the "a" that you started with.

P.S. In the future please post fractions with
So your fraction should have been posted as
(a+7)/a
or
(a+7/(a)
Trying to use a horizontal fraction bar like you did can make the fractions completely unintelligible.
