Answer:

The correct option is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given rational expression is

\frac{x+5}{x^2+6x+5}

Factorize the denominator.

The middle term can be written as 5x+x.

\frac{x+5}{x^2+5x+x+5}

\frac{x+5}{x(x+5)+1(x+5)}

\frac{x+5}{(x+5)(x+1)}

Cancel out the common factors.

\frac{1}{x+1}

The simplified form of the given expression is \frac{1}{x+1}. The factors of the denominator are (x+5) and (x+1), it means at x=-5 and x=-1, the value of denominator is zero.

The given expression is not defined for x=-1 and x=-5.

Therefore the correct option is 2.

What value of X makes the equation -5x-(-7-4x)=-2(3x-4) true?
rjkz [21]

Answer: x= \frac{1}{5} Makes It True

Explantion: step 1: simplify both sides of the equation. −5x−(−7−4x)=−2(3x−4) −5x+−1(−7−4x)=−2(3x−4)(distribute the negative sign) −5x+(−1)(−7)+−1(−4x)=−2(3x−4) −5x+7+4x=−2(3x−4) −5x+7+4x=(−2)(3x)+(−2)(−4)(distribute) −5x+7+4x=−6x+8 (−5x+4x)+(7)=−6x+8(combine like terms) −x+7=−6x+8 −x+7=−6x+8 step 2: add 6x to both sides. −x+7+6x=−6x+8+6x 5x+7=8 step 3: subtract 7 from both sides. 5x+7−7=8−7 5x=1
