Answer:

The extraneous solution is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us calculate the value of 'x' without squaring both side of the expression. This is illustrated below:

-5 = 3x - 7

Collect like terms

-5 + 7 = 3x

2 = 3x

Divide both side by 3

x = 2/3.

Now, let us calculate the value of 'x' by squaring both side of the expression. This is illustrated below:

(-5)^2 = (3x - 7)^2

25 = (3x - 7)(3x - 7)

25 = 9x^2 - 21x - 21x + 49

9x^2 - 42x + 49 - 25 = 0

9x^2 - 42x + 24 = 0

Solving by factorisation:

Multiply the first term i.e 9x^2 and 3rd term i.e 24 together. The result is 216x^2.

Next, we shall obtain two factors of 216x^2 such that when we add them together, it will give the 2nd term i.e -42x in the equation. These factors are: -6x and -36x

Now we can write the above equation as:

9x^2 - 42x + 24 = 0

9x^2 - 6x - 36x + 24 = 0

3x(3x - 2) - 12(3x - 2) = 0

(3x - 12)(3x - 2) = 0

3x - 12 = 0 or 3x - 2 = 0

3x = 12 or 3x = 2

x = 12/3 or x = 2/3

x = 4 or 2/3.

We can see that when we solve the question without squaring both side, the value of x is 2/3. But when we solve by squaring both side, the value of x are 4 and 2/3.

Therefore, the extraneous solution to the question is 4.

How many pounds of carbon dioxide would you prevent from entering the atmosphere in one year, if you were to replace a 100-watt
VikaD [51]
That's an excellent question but we don't have enough information to answer it. We would need to know how the electrical energy is generated. Nuclear, hydroelectric, coal burning, wind, and natural gas burning all produce different amounts of carbon for the same amount of electrical energy. If the utility that supplies your house uses nuclear or wind, then you can leave both bulbs shining 24/7 and they're not responsible for any carbon.

Solve the inequality <br> -5(3m-2)&gt;30
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

m <  −4/3


Step-by-step explanation:

−5(3m−2)>30


Simplify both sides of the inequality.


−15m+10>30


Subtract 10 from both sides.


−15m+10−10>30−10


−15m>20


Divide both sides by -15.


−15m/−15  >  20/−15


m<−4/3
