Answer:

C. $0 because $25.36 and -$25.36 are additive inverses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Additive inverses means 2 numbers that are the complete opposite.

When additive inverses are added together, their sum is 0.

Example: 1 and -1.

They're both additive inverses because they're on the opposite sides on the number line, if -1 had to be a positive, it wouldn't be an inverse.

<u>Given:</u>

Before the deposit, her bank account balance is -25.36.
She has deposited $25.36 into her bank account.

<u>Solve:</u>

Let's add both -25.36 and 25.36.

-25.36 + 25.36 = 0.

C. is the correct choice, and the reasoning is valid.

Dividing rational expressions

Galina-37 [17]

$\bf \textit{difference of squares}
\\ \quad \\
(a-b)(a+b) = a^2-b^2\qquad \qquad 
a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{x+3}{x^2-2x}\cdot \cfrac{(x-2)^2}{x^2-9}\implies \cfrac{x+3}{x^2-2x}\cdot \cfrac{(x-2)(x-2)}{x^2-3^2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{x+3}{x(x-2)}\cdot \cfrac{(x-2)(x-2)}{x^2-3^2}\implies \cfrac{\underline{x+3}}{x\underline{(x-2)}}\cdot \cfrac{\underline{(x-2)}(x-2)}{(x-3)\underline{(x+3)}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{x-2}{x(x-3)}\iff\cfrac{x-2}{x^2-3x}$
