Answer:
d. x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
<u />
÷ (x+8)(x-2) = 0
f(x) / g(x) = 0
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values −8,2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by (x−2)(x+8).
<u />
= 0 ------ square both sides
x + 3 = 0
solve for x:
x = -3

You need to find "two-fifths of 30." Of here means multiplication:
![\begin{aligned}\dfrac{2}{5}\cdot 30 &= \dfrac{2}{5}\cdot\dfrac{30}{1}\\[0.5em] &= \dfrac{60}{5}\\[0.5em] &= 12\end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7D%5Cdfrac%7B2%7D%7B5%7D%5Ccdot%2030%20%26%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B2%7D%7B5%7D%5Ccdot%5Cdfrac%7B30%7D%7B1%7D%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D%20%26%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B60%7D%7B5%7D%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D%20%26%3D%2012%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
