Answer:

Since opposite sides of parallelogram are equal therefore

9r-6=8r+3

r=9

EF=4r+19{opposite sides of parallelogram are equal}

=4×9+19

36+19

=55

John and Tim are looking at the equation the square root of the quantity of 3 times x minus 4 equals square root of x . John say

IgorC [24]

The equation is
3x - 4 = sqrt(x)
where 'sqrt' is shorthand for 'square root'

Let's solve the equation. To do so, we square both sides. Then we get everything to one side
3x - 4 = sqrt(x)
(3x - 4)^2 = (sqrt(x))^2
9x^2 - 24x + 16 = x
9x^2 - 24x + 16-x = x-x
9x^2 - 25x + 16 = 0

Now use the quadratic formula. See the attached image for those steps.

After using the quadratic formula the two possible solutions are x = 1 or x = 16/9

We need to check each possible solution to see if it is extraneous or not.

----------------------------

Checking x = 1

3x - 4 = sqrt(x)
3*1 - 4 = sqrt(1)
3 - 4 = 1
-1 = 1

The final equation is false, so x = 1 is not a true solution

x = 1 is extraneous.

So far, John is correct; however, we need to see the nature of the possible solution x = 16/9

So let's check it
----------------------------

Checking x = 16/9

3x - 4 = sqrt(x)
3*(16/9) - 4 = sqrt(16/9)
48/9 - 4 = 4/3
16/3 - 4 = 4/3
16/3 - 12/3 = 4/3
(16 - 12)/3 = 4/3
4/3 = 4/3

The last equation is true, so x = 16/9 is a proper solution.

This solution is considered non-extraneous. So Tim is also correct
----------------------------

They are both correct because there are two possible solutions. One of which is extraneous (x = 1) and the other is non-extraneous (the fraction x = 16/9)
