Simplify the expression 2(-8-2+2v+6v

1. x = 8

2.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Solve the rational equation

First, cross multiply:

Now, use distributive property:

Separate terms with x and without x into different sides of equation:

Simplify:

Divide by -4:

2. The rational function

This rational function is undefined for all values of x, for which the denominator is equal to 0. Find these values:

This means that the line is a vertical asymptote for the rational function f(x).
