Which of the given expressions results in 0 when evaluated at x = 5?

A. 5x (x-7)

B. (x-8) (x-5)

C. (x+7) (x-2)

D. (x+5) (x-8)

For this, i would use the process of elimination. plug 5 into each x on all four equations, and find which equation equals 0

5 (5) ((5) - 7) = -50

((5) - 8) ((5) - 5) = 0

your answer is B

B. (x-8) (x-5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equations.

To find : Which of the given expressions results in 0 when evaluated at x = 5.

Solution : We have given equations

We need the result zero.

We can see from the given equation (x-8) (x-5)

If we plug x = 5.

(5 - 8) (5 - 5).

-3 (0).

0. (multiply with zero to any number it will always be zero)

Therefore, B. (x-8) (x-5).
