The sum of seven and the quotient of a number x and eight.

ANSWER

[tex] \frac{56 + x}{8} [/tex]


EXPLANATION

We want to find the sum of the expression,

[tex]7 + \frac{x}{8} [/tex]
We can rewrite this as
[tex] \frac{7}{1} + \frac{x}{8} [/tex]



We first of all collect LCM to obtain,


[tex] = \frac{7 \times 8 + x}{8} [/tex]


We now simplify to obtain,

[tex] = \frac{56 + x}{8} [/tex]
