Answer:

<h2>w = -8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation solved by Ernesto expressed as \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}w+8}=-2, the extraneous solution obtained by Ernesto is shown below;

\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}w+8}=-2\\\\square\ both \ sides \ of \ the \ equation\\(\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}w+8})^2=(-2)^2\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}w+8 = 4\\\\Subtract \ 8 \ from \ both \ sides\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}w+8 - 8= 4- 8\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}w= -4\\\\multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ 2\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}w*2= -4*2\\\\w = -8

Hence, the extraneous solution that Ernesto obtained is w = -8

Degger [83]
5.6 gallons of paint are needed to cover 1,960 square feet. 

two gallons are needed for 700, so divide 700 by 2 to get square feet per gallon. 

then divide 1,960 by 350 to get the gallons of paint needed

5.6 gallons
