Question

Multiply. State any excluded values.

Answer 1

`(q + 5)/(-3) * (-3q)/(q + 2) = (q + 5)/(1) * (q)/(q + 2) = (q^(2) + 5q)/(q + 2)`

The answer is D.

Answer 2

The answer is D. -2 is an excluded value, because when you simplify the expression, you get -3q - 6 on the bottom. You can't divide by zero, and if q was -2, you would be doing so, so the answer is D.
