If \(x \neq 0\), then \(\frac{x + 7}{7x} - \frac{1}{x} =\)


A. \(\frac{x+6}{6x}\)

B. \(\frac{x+6}{7x}\)

C. \(\frac{-6x + 7}{7x}\)

D. \(\frac{1}{7}\)

E. \(-\frac{1}{7}\)


\(\frac{x+7}{7x}\) - \(\frac{1}{x}\)

=\(\frac{x+7 - 7}{7x}\)
=\(\frac{1}{7}\)

Thus the best answer is D.

B. \(\frac{x+6}{7x}\)

C. \(\frac{-6x + 7}{7x}\)

D. \(\frac{1}{7}\)

E. \(-\frac{1}{7}\)

Getting common denominators we have:

(x + 7)/7x - 7/7x

x/7x = 1/7

Answer: D

We need to find the value of \(\frac{x + 7}{7x} - \frac{1}{x}\)

\(\frac{x + 7}{7x} - \frac{1}{x}\) = \(\frac{x + 7}{7x} - \frac{7}{7x}\)
= \(\frac{x + 7 - 7}{7x}\) = \(\frac{x}{7x}\) = \(\frac{1}{7}\)

So, Answer will be D
Hope it helps!
