Why 1 2 × k k + 7 1 2 × k k + 7     + 1 2 × 2 5 = k k + 2 5 ( k + 7 ) ?
My attempt:
1 2 × k k + 7 1 2 × k k + 7 + 1 2 × 2 5 = 1 2 × k k + 7 1 2 ( k k + 7 + 2 5 ) = k k + 7 k k + 7 + 2 5

Hint, not a complete answer:
1.Your work so far is fine.
2.Now try multiplying both the numerator and denominator by k + 7, i.e., multiply the whole fraction by
k + 7 k + 7 = 1
and see whether you can simplify a bit.

Simply multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2 ( k + 7 )
