First, simplify the numerator and the denominator separately using the distributive property and order of operations: Numerator = $7 \cdot (6 + 8) + 7 \cdot 2 = 7 \cdot 14 + 14 = 98 + 14 = 112$. Denominator = $7 \cdot (6 - 1) = 7 \cdot 5 = 35$. So, the expression simplifies to $\frac{112}{35}$, which simplifies further to $3 \frac{2}{35}$. Since $2/35$ does not simplify to any of the options given, it seems there was a mistake in my calculation. Correctly, $\frac{112}{35}$ simplifies to $3 \frac{7}{35}$, and since $7/35$ simplifies to $1/5$, the correct answer is $3 \frac{1}{5}$.
