A2x^2+49/x(x-7)
Bx^2+49/x(x-7)
C2(x+7)/x(x-7)
D2(x-7)/x(x-7)

Verified Answer :

The answer is C, Hope I helped.

Answer:

Option A is correct

\(\frac{2x^2+49}{x(x-7)}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

\(\frac{3x}{x-7}-\frac{x+7}{x}\)

Take LCM of (x-7) and x is, x(x-7)

then;

\(\frac{3x(x)-(x+7)(x-7)}{x(x-7)}\)

Using identity rule:

\((a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2\)

⇒\(\frac{3x^2-(x^2-7^2)}{x(x-7)}\)

⇒\(\frac{3x^2-(x^2-49)}{x(x-7)}\)

Remove the bracket

⇒\(\frac{3x^2-x^2+49}{x(x-7)}\)

Combine like terms:

⇒\(\frac{2x^2+49}{x(x-7)}\)

Therefore, \(\frac{2x^2+49}{x(x-7)}\) is equivalent to \(\frac{3x}{x-7}-\frac{x+7}{x}\)
