Simplify: $\"%28%285x-7%29%2F%28x%2B7%29%29%2B%28%28-1%29%2F%28x%2B7%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Since we have the same denominators, let's combine the numerators and merge the denominators. Thus, our expression will look like this:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%285x-7-1%29%2F%28x%2B7%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now, simplified:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%285x-8%29%2F%28x%2B7%29\"$ <--- here's your answer. \n" ); document.write( "
