You have posted only an expression, without any instructions. Without knowing what the question is, we can't "know why", either.

Please reply with clarification, including the instructions.

Thank you.

From 0 < x < 1:

Since x > 0, |x| = ?

Since x < 1, |x - 1| = ?

Then you can simplify \(\displaystyle \mbox{ \left|\frac{x + 7}{|x| + |x - 1|}\right|}\).
 
\(\displaystyle \L
\begin{array}{l}
0 < x < 1\quad \Rightarrow \\
x + 7 = x + 7 \\
|x| = x \\
|x - 1| = 1 - x \\
\quad \Rightarrow \quad \left| {\frac{{x + 7}}{{|x| + |x - 1|}}} \right| = \frac{{x + 7}}{{x + (1 - x)}} = x + 7 \\
\end{array}\)
