Answer:
X 3/14
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe the answer is A
The area of a triangle is base * height / 2
The length of the base is 16 - 12 = 4
The height is 31 - 0 =0
Then the area is 4*31/2 = 62
For this case, we have the following equation (according to the comments):

First, we factor the quadratic expression in the denominator:

Then, we multiply both sides of the equation by (a-2) (a + 2):

Later, canceling similar terms we have:

We do distributive property on the left side of the equation:

By grouping variables and constant terms we have:

Rewriting we have:

Finally, by clearing "a" we have:

Note: the value of a is a extraneous solution because it makes the denominator of the original equation equal to zero.
Answer:
the student correct, but the value of a= -2 is an extraneous solution
