Answer:110
Step-by-step explanation:x^2+17x=15x+35
x^2+17x-15x-35=0
x^2+2x-35=0
delta=2^2-4*1*(-35)=4+140=144
x1=(-2+V144)/2=(-2+12)/2=10/2
x=5
so 15*5+35=75+35=110
the correct answer should be (b) 6 is extraneous.
If you look at the second row of the solution you see (x-6) as a factor in one of the denominators. That's a problem: if 6 were a solution this denominator would become 0. But denominators being 0 is bad (undefined), so while 6 comes out of the algebraic manipulation as a solution, it is invalid, or extraneous.
-3 is a fine solution.
Basically if you have an exponent at the end of a 10,
, then in the end the extended notation is going to have 7 zeros. So it'll be 10000000. Then you multiply whats in the rest of the equation together. There's the beginning :) I hope it helps.
