Answer:
x=-8
Step-by-step explanation:

on squaring both sides

either x-2=0 or x+8=0
either x=2 or x=-8
Putting x=2 in original equation, we get

7=7 hence, it is not an extraneous solution
Putting x=-8 in original equation

i.e. 3=-3
Hence, x=-8 is an extraneous solution (since it doesn't satisfy the original equation)

I can not set up a 2 way table online but what they want is a collom of the information neatly laid out...
With the 9th graders in one collom and the 10th graders in the other
like this
9th grader 10th grader
# of students 32 40
# of participated 32 18
Draw this out with lines and it will be correct.
I hope this helps GOOD LUCK...this is tough math for a middle schooler.
