Answer:
Option D)Neither solution is extraneous.
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
we know that
two possible solutions are x=-7 and x=1
<u><em>Verify each solution</em></u>
Substitute each value of x in the expression above and interpret the results
1) For x=-7
----> is true
therefore
x=-7 is not a an extraneous solution
2) For x=1
----> is true
therefore
x=1 is not a an extraneous solution
therefore
Neither solution is extraneous
Answer:
The cube must be 21.125 feet long.
Step-by-step explanation:
David can completely cover a cube of side length equal to 2 feet, using 16 quarts of paint.
With this we make a conversion factor:
feet/quarts = 0.125 feet/quarts
This means that with each quart of paint you can paint a 0.125-foot long cube
We need to know how big is the length of a cube that can be covered with 169 quarts of paint
Then we use the conversion factor found earlier
The cube must be 21.125 feet long.
