Evaluate h(x)=17+x/6

$h (x) = 17 + \frac{x}{6}$

Divide each term in $h x = 17 + \frac{x}{6}$ by $x$ .

$\frac{h x}{x} = \frac{17}{x} + \frac{\frac{x}{6}}{x}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $x$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{h x}{x} = \frac{17}{x} + \frac{\frac{x}{6}}{x}$

Divide $h$ by $1$ .

$h = \frac{17}{x} + \frac{\frac{x}{6}}{x}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

$h = \frac{17}{x} + \frac{x}{6} \cdot \frac{1}{x}$

Cancel the common factor of $x$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$h = \frac{17}{x} + \frac{x}{6} \cdot \frac{1}{x}$

Rewrite the expression.

$h = \frac{17}{x} + \frac{1}{6}$
