Answer:

Not true

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (2x + 5) = 3(x – 4)+7

Opening bracket on left and side and distributing 3 over (x-4) on right hand side

x+2x+5=3x-3 x 4 + 7

adding like terms

3x+5=3x-12+7

3x+5=3x-5

Hence

5 = -5

Which is not possible , Hence the equation given to us is false.

Which of the following is an extraneous solution of startroot 4 x 41 endroot = x 5? x = –8 x = –2 x = 2 x = 8

Gnom [1K]

The extraneous solution of startroot 4 x 41 endroot = x 5 will be A. -8.

<h3>What is an extraneous solution?</h3>

It should be noted that an extraneous solution simply means a root of a transformed equation which isn't part of the original equation.

✓4x + 41 = x + 5

Square both sides

4x + 41 = x² + 10x + 25

x² + 6x - 16

x(x + 8) - 2(x + 8) = 0

x + 8 = 0

x= 0 + 8 = 8

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

$-2^{\circ}\text{F}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be the temperature on the first day

Second day temperature

$x+7$

Third day temperature

$x+7-10$

Fourth day temperature was $1^{\circ}\text{F}$

$x+7-10+6=1\\\Rightarrow x+3=1\\\Rightarrow x=1-3\\\Rightarrow x=-2^{\circ}\text{F}$

On the first day the temperature was $-2^{\circ}\text{F}$
