k = - 2 is excluded from the domain
the denominator of f(x) cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined. Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that k cannot be
solve k + 2 = 0 ⇒ k = - 2 ← excluded value
10+5x=50
subtract ten from both sides
5x=40
divide five from both sides
x=8
