Answer:

x=-4 , Extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equation - \frac{1}{x+4}+ \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{x+4}

To classify : The given equation as extraneous or non-extraneous ?

Solution :  

An extraneous solution is one that we arrive at that will not work in the equation.

For rational equations, extraneous solutions are ones that will cause the denominator to be 0.

So, first we solve the given equation

\frac{1}{x+4}+ \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{x+4}

Taking LCM to LHS

\frac{2+x+4}{2(x+4)}=\frac{1}{x+4}

Cancel (x+4) both side,

\frac{x+6}{2}=1

Cross multiply,

x+6=2

x=-4

Now, if we put x=-4 in the equation the denominator is zero.

Therefore, It is an extraneous solution.

Can anyone please help me what is x<br>​
Masja [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

the side on the left of 155 is 180-155 which is 25

the one on top of 120 is 180-120 which is 60 so the one on the right of x is 180-(25+60) which is 95

now the value of x is 180-95 which is 85.

in the second one x=180-100 because the angle on the bottom of x is corresponding to the one that's equal to 100, so x=180-100 which is 80

for the first one x=85

the second one x=80

Sally can paint a room in 7 hours while it takes Steve 6 hours to paint the same room. How long would it take them to paint the
mash [69]
Sally paints at a rate of 1/7th room / hour

Steve paints at a rate of 1/6th room / hour

If they both painted together, they would paint 1/7 + 1/6 = 13/42 room/hour

so to paint the whole room, it would take 1/(13/42) = 42/13 =
<u>
3.23 hours (3 significant figures)</u>
