Question

What is the value of the rational expression below when x is equal to 6?

Answer 1

Recall that to evaluate an expression we substitute the variable with the given value.

Evaluating the expression at x=6, we get:

$\frac{6-2}{6-5}.$

Simplifying the above result, we get:

$\frac{4}{1}=4.$
