Which of the following is an extraneous solution of the square root of -3x-2=x+2

Answer:

x=-6 is an extraneous solution

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

\sqrt{-3x-2} =x+2

squared both sides

-3x-2=(x+2)^2

-3x-2=x^2+4x+4

x^2+7x+6=0

solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is x=-6 and x=-1

see the attached figure

<u><em>Verify each solution</em></u>

substitute the value of x in the original expression

For x=-6

\sqrt{-3(-6)-2} =-6+2

\sqrt{16} =-4

4=-4 ----> is not true

so

Is an extraneous solution

For x=-1

\sqrt{-3(-1)-2} =-1+2

\sqrt{1} =1

1=1 ----> is true

so

Is the solution

Tell whether the angles are adjacent or vertical. Then find the value of x.
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Vertical/ x = 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are self-explanatory; vertical angles are angles that are vertical from each other.

Vertical angles are also congruent (equal), meaning that both angles equal 75°.

4x - 25 = 75.

To solve this expression, we must first add 25 to 75. This is because there is a subtraction sign in front of 25, so we must do the opposite.

25 + 75 = 100

Lastly, divide 100 from 4.

4x = 100

100 / 4 = 25

x = 25
