Answer:

x = 3 is extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\sqrt{4x-8} = x - 5 ( square both sides to clear the radical )

4x - 8 = (x - 5)² ← expand using FOIL

4x - 8 = x² - 10x + 25 ( subtract 4x - 8 from both sides )

0 = x² - 14x + 33 ← in standard form

0 = (x - 11)(x - 3) ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 11 = 0 ⇒ x = 11

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

As a check

Substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are solutions

x = 11

left side = \sqrt{44-8} = \sqrt{36} = 6

right side = 11 - 5 = 6

Thus x = 11 is a solution

x = 3

left side = \sqrt{12-8} = \sqrt{4} = 2

right side = 3 - 5 = - 2 ≠ 2

Thus x = 3 is an extraneous solution
