Step-by-step explanation:a or b ?
Answer:
p=2
Step-by-step explanation:
4.05p+14.40=4.50(p+3) < equation
4.05p+14.40=4.50p+13.50 < multiply
14.40=.45p+13.50 < subtract
.9=.45p < subtract
2=p < divide
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.
If you estimated 3.7 to 4 and 5.1 to 5 the answer would be 20. You would have 20 and now you can think is 20 a reasonable answer for 3.7x5.1. The answer for 3.7x5.1=18.87, so the answer is yes.
