Answer:

<h3>           44</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

z -  some integer

2z - first given even integer (the smaller one)

2z+2 - even integer consecutive to 2z  (the larger one)

2(2z)    - twice the smaller number

2(2z) - 40    - the number 40 less than twice the smaller number

2(2z) - 40 = 2z + 2

4z - 40 = 2z + 2

2z = 42

 

2z+2 = 42+2 = 44

check:

2(2z)-40 = 2(42)-40 = 84-40 = 44

HELP PLEASE! I'll be your fan

Part a)

for extraneous solution
<span>
1 ⋅ sqrt(x+2) + 3 = 0</span>

for non extraneous solution

1⋅ sqrt(x+2)  + 3 = 6

part b) solve each equation

1⋅sqrt(x+2)+3=0 

x+sqrt(x+2)=−3 

square both sides

(sqrt(<span>x+2)</span>)^ 2 = (−3)^2 


x+2=9 

x=9−2 

x=7 

do you see why its extraneous
