Add the rational expressions as indicated. Be sure to express your answer in simplest form.
(8 x)/(x-3) + 7/(x-3)
(8*)/(*-3)+7/(*-3)=8*(*-3)+7(*-3)/(*-3)+(*-3) find d l.c.m. ans=1-5*/3
8X/(X-3) + 7/(X-3) = (8X+7)/(X-3).

To add rational expressions, we need a common denominator.
In this case, both rational expressions have the same denominator, which is (x - 3). So, we can directly add the numerators.
The numerator of the first rational expression is 8x, and the numerator of the second rational expression is 7.
Adding them together, we get:
(8x + 7)/(x - 3)
Since there are no common factors in the numerator and denominator that can be simplified further, this is the simplest form of the expression.
