The first step for solving this expression is to write the division as a fraction. x + [tex] \frac{7x}{9} [/tex] × x Calculate the product. [tex] \frac{7x X x}{9}[/tex] Remember that if a term doesn't have an exponent,, it is considered that the exponent for that term is 1. This changes the expression to the following: [tex] \frac{7 x^{1}X x^{1} }{9} [/tex] Now multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents. [tex] \frac{7 x^{1+1}}{9}[/tex] Finally,, add the numbers together to get your final answer. x + [tex] \frac{7 x^{2}}{9}[/tex] Let me know if you have any further questions. :)
