<span>2 square root (x - 5) = 2. 2^2 (x -5) = 2^2. 4(x - 5) = 4. 4x - 20 = 4. 4x = 24. x = 6. This solution is not extraneous, because extraneous solutions emerge from solving the problem but are not actually valid solutions for the initial problem. With rounding, this solution is valid for the initial problem.</span>

Answer:

x = 6, solution is not extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 2 Square root of x minus 5 = 2

2\sqrt{x-5} =2. solve for x

Divide by 2 on both sides

\sqrt{x-5} =1

Take square on both sides to remove square root

x-5= 1

add 5 on both sides

x= 6

Now we plug in x=6 in our original equation

2\sqrt{6-5} =2

2 = 2 is true

So x= 6 satisfies our given equation

X=6 is not an extraneous solution

3.Find the area of Triangle and Parallelogram having base 13.5cm and height is 18cm.​
patriot [66]
  • Base=13.5cm
  • Height=18cm

\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=\dfrac{1}{2}Base\times Height

\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=\dfrac{1}{2}(18)(13.5)

\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=9(13.5)

\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=121.5cm^2
