Question

What value of x will cause the denominator of 8x-2/5x+1 to be 0?

1) -1/5
2) 1/5
3) 1/4
4) -1/4

Answer 1

Option A is correct

value of x will cause the denominator of
`(8x-2)/(5x+1)` to be 0

To find value of x that make the denominator 0,

We set denominator =0 and solve for x

5x + 1 =0

Subtract 1 from both sides

5x + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

5x = -1

Divide by 5 on both sides

`(5x)/(5) =(-1)/(5)`

So
`x =(-1)/(5)`

Option A is correct
