I think u use multiplication
Answer: A solution that results in a false statement when substituted back into the original equation.
Step-by-step explanation: An extraneous solution is one that arises in a solution of equations, but which on closer inspection is not a solution to the original equation. Therefore, they imply an error in the development of the solution of the equation, so they cannot be taken as a valid solution since, when replacing the result with the missing variable, the equation does not obtain the desired result.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 7 + 2x - 5 + 2x - 3 + 2x - 1 + 2x + 3 + 2x + 5 + 2x + 7 Combine like terms
16x / 8 = 48
2x = 48
x = 24
The range is defined as the largest number - the smallest number
The range is between 2x - 7 and 2x + 7
x = 24
The smallest number is 48 - 7 = 41
The largest number is 48 + 7 = 55
The range = 55 - 41 = 14
Why was the 2 in front of the x needed? It was to make sure that I could create an odd number.
Why did I subtract an odd number? That was to make sure that I could create odd numbers.
Why did I start with 2x - 7 and end up 8 terms later at 2x + 7?
So the numbers would cancel and I'd only be left with x's.
