Answer:

-4 is the larger integer

Step-by-step explanation:

n = smaller integer

n + 2 = larger integer

4(n+2) = n-10

4n + 8 = n - 10

3n + 8 = -10

3n = -18

n = -6

n+2 = -4

Hi,

Equation:

$- 7 \times (- 5)$

Multiplying two negatives equals a positive.

$( - ) \times ( - ) = ( + )$

Now equation looks like:

$7 \times 5 = 35$

Hope this helps.

For which rational expression is 8 an excluded value ? check all that apply

denis23 [38]

Answer:

The correct answer options are C. $\frac{x^2+5}{x-8}$ and D. $\frac{x^2-x-56}{x^2-64}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The values which make the denominator equal to zero are called the excluded values.

Here, we can substitute 8 for x and check if it makes the denominator 0.

$\frac{x-8}{x+8} = \frac{8-8}{8+8} =\frac{0}{16} =0$

$\frac{x-2}{x^2-4} = \frac{8-2}{8^2-4} =\frac{6}{60} =\frac{1}{10}$

$\frac{x^2+5}{x-8} = \frac{8^2+5}{8-8} =\frac{69}{0}$

$\frac{x^2-x-56}{x^2-64} = \frac{8^2-8-56}{8^2-64} = \frac{0}{0} =0$

$\frac{8x^2-2}{x^2-16} = \frac{8(8)^2-2}{8^2-16} =\frac{510}{48}$
