<h2>Answer: 9/(x - 1)</h2>

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Because both terms have the same denominator, then we can subtract the numerators upon the same denominator:

⇒ x+1/x-1 - x-8/x-1 = ((x + 1) - (x - 8))/(x - 1)

= (x + 1 - x + 8)/(x - 1) <em>[expand the brackets and simplify]</em>

= 9/(x - 1)

Answer:

7.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert each fraction to a decimal

1/4=.25 = 8.250

1/2=.5 = 6.500

5/8=.625 = 6.625

Then, add all of them together

8.250+6.500+6.625=21.375

Lastly, divide by 3 because that's how many values you have

21.375/3=7.125
