Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A simple way to solve this is by substituting, we start with trying 1 for x, 2+6=8, and 1+9=10. Because the two values are different, that means 1 is the incorrect value. We can try 2, 4+6=10, and 2+9=11, once again inequivalent. We finally try 3, and 6+6=12 and 3+9=12 meaning x must be 3

Iteru [2.4K]

Consider the equation:

$\sqrt{x+2}+4 = 8$

Subtracting '4' from both the sides of the equation, we get as

$\sqrt{x+2}+4-4= 8-4$

$\sqrt{x+2}= 4$

Squaring on both the sides of the equation, we get

$(\sqrt{x+2})^2 = (4)^2$

$x+2 = 16$

Subtracting '2' from both the sides of the equation, we get

$x+2-2=16-2$

x=14

Since, An extraneous solution is a solution that arises from the solving process that is not really a solution at all. But, in this equation x=14 is the solution of the given equation.

Hence, it is not an extraneous solution.
