Answer:
See the attachment. (All results are integers, so are correct to 6 decimal places.)
Step-by-step explanation:
The function simplifies to ...
... f(x) = x(x-9)/((x+1)(x-9))
... f(x) = x/(x+1) . . . for x ≠ 9
504
3 8/33
x = 13
call the missing number x
8 - x = - 5 Subtract 8 from both sides
8-8 - x = -5-8 Combine
-x = - 13 Multiply by -1
