Answer:

There are no extraneous solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(8x+9) = x+2

Square each side

(sqrt(8x+9))^2 = (x+2)^2

8x+9 =  (x+2)^2

FOIL

8x+9 = x^2 +2x+2x+4

Combine like term

8x+9 = x^2 +4x+4

Subtract 8x from each side

8x-8x+9 = x^2 +4x-8x+4

9 = x^2 -4x+4

Subtract 9 from each side

0 = x^2 -4x-5

Factor

0=(x-5) (x+1)

Using the zero product property\

x-5 =0  x+1=0

x=5   x=-1

Check the solutions

x=5

sqrt(8*5+9) = 5+2

sqrt(40+9) = 5+2

sqrt(49) =7

7=7

x=-1

sqrt(8*(-1)+9) = -1+2

sqrt(-8+9) = -1+2

sqrt(1) =1

1=1

Both solutions are true solutions

Answer:

there are no extraneous solutions to the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\sqrt{8x+9} = x + 2 ( square both sides )

8x + 9 = (x + 2)² ← expand

8x + 9 = x² + 4x + 4 ( subtract 8x + 9 from both sides )

0 = x² - 4x - 5 ← in standard form

0 = (x - 5)(x + 1) ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

As a check

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

x = 5 : \sqrt{8(5)+9} = \sqrt{49} = 7

right side = 5 + 2 = 7

left side = right side ⇒ x = 5 is a solution

x = - 1 : \sqrt{8(-1)+9} = \sqrt{1} = 1

right side = - 1 + 2 = 1

left side = right side ⇒ x = - 1 is a solution

There are no extraneous solutions

Isabell is thinking of a even number between 234 and 250 the sum of the digits is double the digit in the ones place what is Isa
Lelu [443]

Answer:

246.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be 2xy, then

2 + x + y = 2y    and y must be even because the whole number is even.

y = 2 + x .

Now x must be even because y is even.

The only 2 numbers which fit are x = 4 and y = 6 so the number is 246.

Checking: 2+4+6 = 12 and 12 = 2*6.

Well you would take the store credit and subtract that from the total so you would do 52.22-39.58 and you would have to spend $12.64
