For this case, we have the following equation (according to the comments):

First, we factor the quadratic expression in the denominator:

Then, we multiply both sides of the equation by (a-2) (a + 2):

Later, canceling similar terms we have:

We do distributive property on the left side of the equation:

By grouping variables and constant terms we have:

Rewriting we have:

Finally, by clearing "a" we have:

Note: the value of a is a extraneous solution because it makes the denominator of the original equation equal to zero.
Answer:
the student correct, but the value of a= -2 is an extraneous solution
Answer:
8 cans of frozen dinner
9 cans of soup
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
200mg/1 can of soup
600mg/1 can of frozen dinner
17 cans of both soup and frozen dinners which contain 6600mg
200 (9) + 600 (8) = 6600
Answer: Second option is correct.
Explanation:
Since we have given that

And 
To find the remainder, we use the Remainder Theorem, which states that when f(x) is divided by (x-c) then the f(c) is the required remainder.
So,
Here, we have,

So, we will find f(-2) which will give us the required remainder,

Hence, Second option is correct.
We can solve this equation by completing the square. Notice that

and

. Therefore, we can turn

into

. y, in this equation, only has one real solution: 4. So your answer would be (B).
