To evaluate $f'(1)$ for the function $f(x)=7x-3+\ln(x)$, the derivative $f'(x)$ is calculated as $f'(x)=7+\frac{1}{x}$. Substituting $x=1$ yields $f'(1)=7+1=8$. The correct answer is therefore (E) 8. Typos and suggestions in the original question were noted, but the solution itself is confirmed to be correct.

If $f(x)=7x-3+\ln(x),$ then $f'(1)=$
$(A)\, 4\quad (B)\: 5\quad (C)\, 6\quad (D)\,7\quad (E)\,8$
since
$$f'(x)=7+\dfrac{1}{x}$$
so then
$$f'(1)=7+\dfrac{1}{1}=7+1=8\quad (E)$$

ok kinda an easy one but typos and suggestions possible

I don't see a question here. If you are asking if your solution is correct, yes it is.
