For what value of x is the rational expression below equal to zero?𝑥−8𝑥+8x+8x−8​ A.-1B.8C.-8D.0SUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS

The rational expression is equal to zero when the numerator is equal to zero.

The expression is: (x - 8) / (x + 8)

Setting the numerator equal to zero gives us:

x - 8 = 0

Solving for x gives us:

x = 8

So, the value of x that makes the rational expression equal to zero is 8. Therefore, the correct answer is B. 8.
