Answer 1

The value of the rational expression is 4..

Explanation:

The rational expression is:

17+x/ x+2

Put the value x=3 for all x's in the numerator and denominator

=17+3/3+2

Now add both the terms:

=20/5

Now divide both numerator and denominator by 5:

=4

Thus the value of the rational expression is 4..
