so.. the left-hand-side does indeed simplify to x+7, so the equation does check out.
however, notice something, for the equation of x+7, when x = 6, we get (6) + 7 which is 13.
BUT for the rational, we get

so, even though the siimplification is correct, the rational or original expression is constrained in its domain.
A) is right
b) just subtract ljm and kjm so 145-48 = 92°
c) 9x-25=7x+7 so here you put npq=mpq+mpn and you combine terms so it's now 2x=32 then divide by 2 on both sides and x= 16
now you just plug it into 3x-5 and you get 43°
Answer:1 3/4 < 1 7/8
Showing the workThe least common denominator is 8Comparing 14/8 and 15/8:
14/8 < 15/8 ... ..... ... ....therefore1 3/4 < 1 7/8
