What is an extraneous solution?

Mathematics

faust18 [17]3 years ago
5 0
An extraneous solution is a solution to a function which does not apply to the original problem. Such as in real life problems, measuring the sides of a shape to determine area or volume. If you solve for x and one of the solutions is a negative number, that would be an extraneous solution, since in real life we cannot have negative inches, centimeters, milliliters, etc.

Two customers went to a post office to buy postcards and large envelopes. Each postcard
astraxan [27]

The right answer is Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the postcards

y be the large envelops

According to given statement;

14x+5y=12   Eqn 1

10x+15y=24.80   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3;

3(14x+5y=12)\\42x+15y=36\ \ \ Eqn \ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3;

(42x+15y)-(10x+15y)=36-24.80\\42x+15y-10x-15y=11.20\\32x=11.20\\

Dividing both sides by 32

\frac{32x}{32}=\frac{11.20}{32}\\x=0.35

Putting x=0.35 in Eqn 1;

14(0.35)+5y=12\\4.90+5y=12\\5y=12-4.90\\5y=7.10

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{7.10}{5}\\y=1.42

Therefore, one large envelope costs $1.42

The right answer is Option A.
