Example:

This suggests two solutions,

and

.
However, upon plugging these solutions back into the equation, you get

which checks out, but

does not because

is defined only for

(assuming you're looking for real solutions only). So, we call

an extraneous solution, and the complete solution set (over the real numbers) is

.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
separate into squares
i separated it into three squares (rectangles);
9x5
3x2
3x2
find the area of the three then add, 45+6+6
Total Area = 57m^2
Answer:
x = 11/7 or 1.57
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number be x
now :
=》the product of 7 and the number
=》6 less than the product
=》now, we know :
Answer:
2 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Make them into improper fractions first.
11/2 - 17-6
Then multiply 11/2 so that they have common denominators.
33/6 - 17/6
Then solve.
33/6 - 17/6 = 16/6
Then convert back into a mixed number.
2 4/6 or 2 2/3
