![### Algebraic Expression Evaluation
**Instructions:**
Choose one of the expressions below and evaluate it for \( n = 7 \):
1. \[\frac{n^2 - 9}{2(4 - 3)}\]
2. \[\left( n + 3 \right) \cdot \frac{n - 3}{8 - 3 \cdot 2}\]
### Explanation:
- **Expression 1:**
\[\frac{n^2 - 9}{2(4 - 3)}\]
- This expression involves squaring the variable \( n \), subtracting 9, and dividing by the product of 2 and the difference of 4 and 3.
- **Expression 2:**
\[\left( n + 3 \right) \cdot \frac{n - 3}{8 - 3 \cdot 2}\]
- This expression is a product of two parts. The first part is \( n + 3 \), while the second part is a fraction with the numerator \( n - 3 \) and the denominator being the result of 8 minus the product of 3 and 2.
### Evaluation for \( n = 7 \):
- **For Expression 1:**
Substitute \( n = 7 \):
\[\frac{7^2 - 9}{2(4 - 3)} = \frac{49 - 9}{2 \cdot 1} = \frac{40}{2} = 20\]
- **For Expression 2:**
Substitute \( n = 7 \):
\[\left( 7 + 3 \right) \cdot \frac{7 - 3}{8 - 3 \cdot 2} = 10 \cdot \frac{4}{8 - 6} = 10 \cdot \frac{4}{2} = 10 \cdot 2 = 20\]](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F28788f8a-119b-4aa5-8c51-644b5e78abac%2F46656ed3-a913-48b1-a422-0e65140873ef%2Fmcqmv9y_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
