x=2 is only solution while x=1 is extraneous solution
Option C is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve the equation
and find values of x.
Solving:
Find the LCM of denominators x-1,x and x-1. The LCM is x(x-1)
Multiply the entire equation with x(x-1)

Now, factoring the term:

The values of x are x=1 and x=2
Checking for extraneous roots:
Extraneous roots: The root that is the solution of the equation but when we put it in the equation the answer turns out not to be right.
If we put x=1 in the equation,
the denominator becomes zero i.e
which is not correct as in fraction anything divided by zero is undefined. So, x=1 is an extraneous solution.
If we put x=2 in the equation,


So, x=2 is only solution while x=1 is extraneous solution
Option C is correct.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the Physics book costs $x
The Chemistry book will cost $x - $6
Two such Chemistry books will cost;
2($x - $6) = $(2x - 12)
Three such Physics books cost $3x
$(2x - 12) + $3x = $123
$5x - $12 = $123
$5x = $111
x = $22
So the Physics book costs; $22
and the Chemistry book costs $22
- 6 = $16
It's 5. Just took this test and got this question right :)
3 should be added to the tiles
Answer:
25 rides
Step-by-step explanation:
has $28.50
15.75 + 0.50r
28.50
Subtract 15.75
0.50r
12.75
r
25.5
you can't have half rides, so 25 rides
