Correct Answer: $3\sqrt{5}-7$


Solution : Given: $x+[\frac{1}{(x+7)}]=0$
Adding both sides 7, we get,
⇒ $x+7+[\frac{1}{(x+7)}]=7$
Squaring both sides, we get,
⇒ $(x+7)^{2}+(\frac{1}{x+7})^{2}+2=49$
⇒ $(x+7)^{2}+(\frac{1}{x+7})^{2}=47$
Subtracting 2 from both sides,
$(x+7)^{2}+(\frac{1}{x+7})^{2}–2=47-2$
⇒ $[(x+7)-(\frac{1}{x+7})]^{2}=45$
⇒ $[(x+7)-(\frac{1}{x+7})]=\sqrt{45}$
⇒ $[(x-\frac{1}{x+7})]=\sqrt{45}-7=\sqrt{9 \times5}-7=3\sqrt{5}–7$
Hence, the correct answer is $3\sqrt{5}-7$.
