<u>Define x:</u>

Let Fred had x dollar.

Fred = x 
Greg = x + 17

<u>Solve x :</u>

x + x + 17 = 85
2x + 17 = 85
2x = 68
x = 34

<u>Find the amount each of them had:</u>

Fred = x = $34
Greg = x + 17 = 34 + 17 = $51

Answer: Greg had $51

Greg had $51 while Fred had $34.
Greg has $17 more than Fred: 51-34 = 17
Together, their money is enough to get their mom a present that costs $85 ($51 + $34 = $85)

So Greg have $51.

What is the extraneous solution?
8_murik_8 [283]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

  x = 1

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<em>The only solution is an extraneous solution</em>, which is to say the equation has no solution.

The rational expression reduces to -1 (for x≠1), which makes the equation ...

  1 = 1/x

The only solution to this is x=1, which is specifically disallowed.

___

If you subtract the right side, the equation becomes ...

  ((-x+1)(x) +2(x)(x -1) -(x -1))/(x -1) = 0

  (-x^2 +x +2x^2 -2x -x +1)/(x -1) = 0 . . . . eliminate parentheses in the numerator

  (x^2 -2x +1)/(x -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  (x -1)^2/(x -1) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor

This is undefined for the only value of x that could possibly be a solution, x=1.
