Q. Evaluate the expression for x=8x = -8.\newlineWrite your answer in simplest form.\newlinex2x7=\frac{x - 2}{-x - 7} = __
  1. Identify Expression: Identify the expression after substituting x=8x = -8 Substitute 8-8 for xx in x2x7\frac{x - 2}{-x - 7}. (8)2(8)7\frac{(-8) - 2}{-(-8) - 7}
  2. Substitute and Simplify: Evaluate (8)2(-8) - 2\newline(8)2=10(-8) - 2 = -10\newlineNumerator: 10-10
  3. Evaluate Numerator: Evaluate (8)7-(-8) - 7(8)7=87-(-8) - 7 = 8 - 7Denominator: 11
  4. Evaluate Denominator: 101-\frac{10}{1}\newlineThe fraction 101-\frac{10}{1} is already in its simplest form.\newlineThe value of the expression is 10-10.
