x^2/x+5+7x+10/x+5
=x%5E2%2F%28x%2B5%29+%2B+%287x%2B10%29%2F%28x%2B5%29+
=%28x%5E2%2B7x%2B10%29%2F%28x%2B5%29+
=%28%28x%2B5%29%28x%2B2%29%29%2F%28x%2B5%29
cancel (x+5)
= x+2

Because you have not used any parentheses in you problem statement, the given expression is not totally clear!
Here are some of the possibilities:
1)x%5E2%2F%28x%2B5%29%2B%287x%2B10%29%2F%28x%2B5%29
2) x%5E2%2F%28x%2B5%29%2B7x%2B10%2F%28x%2B5%29
Simplify 1):
x%5E2%2F%28x%2B5%29%2B%287x%2B10%29%2F%28x%2B5%29 First combine the two fractions with the common denominator of (x+5).
%28x%5E2%2B7x%2B10%29%2F%28x%2B5%29 Now factor the numerator.
%28x%2B2%29cross%28%28x%2B5%29%29%2Fcross%28%28x%2B5%29%29 Cancel the indicated factors.
