The question is incomplete. Completed question is given below the answer.

His solution for x is correct, but in order for 6 to be an extraneous solution, one denominator has to result in 0 when 6 is substituted for x.

Given  

Then the solution follows thus:

Step 1: 8(x – 4) = 2(x + 2)

Step 2: 4(x – 4) = (x + 2)

Step 3: 4x – 16 = x + 2

Step 4: 3x = 18

Step 5: x = 6

It can be seen that his solution is correct. But 6 is not an extraneous solution.

An extraneous solution is a solution to an equation that emerges from the process of solving the problem but is not a valid solution to the original problem.

When 6 is substituted into the original equation, the original equation holds.

Therefore, his solution for x is correct, but in order for 6 to be an extraneous solution, one denominator has to result in 0 when 6 is substituted for x.

#SPJ4

Completed question:-

A student solves the following equation for all possible values of x:His solution is as follows:

Step 1: 8(x – 4) = 2(x + 2)

Step 2: 4(x – 4) = (x + 2)

Step 3: 4x – 16 = x + 2

Step 4: 3x = 18

Step 5: x = 6

He determines that 6 is an extraneous solution because the difference of the numerators is 6, so the 6s cancel to 0.

Which best describes the reasonableness of the student’s solution?

His solution for x is correct and his explanation of the extraneous solution is reasonable.

His solution for x is correct, but in order for 6 to be an extraneous solution, both denominators have to result in 0 when 6 is substituted for x.

His solution for x is correct, but in order for 6 to be an extraneous solution, one denominator has to result in 0 when 6 is substituted for x.

His solution for x is incorrect. When solved correctly, there are no extraneous solutions.
