Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{5}{6}$ x - 4 = - 2 ( add 4 to both sides )

$\frac{5}{6}$ x = 2 ( multiply both sides by 6 to clear the fraction )

5x = 12 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = $\frac{12}{5}$ = 2 $\frac{2}{5}$ → A

Two possible solutions of √11-2x=√x^2+4x+4 are –7 and 1. Which statement is true? A) Only x = –7 is an extraneous solution.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Option D)Neither solution is extraneous.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$\sqrt{11-2x}=\sqrt{x^{2}+4x+4}$

we know that

two possible solutions are x=-7 and x=1

<u><em>Verify each solution</em></u>

Substitute each value of x in the expression above and interpret the results

1) For x=-7

$\sqrt{11-2(-7)}=\sqrt{-7^{2}+4(-7)+4}$

$\sqrt{25}=\sqrt{25}$

$5=5$ ----> is true

therefore

x=-7 is not a an extraneous solution

2) For x=1

$\sqrt{11-2(1)}=\sqrt{1^{2}+4(1)+4}$

$\sqrt{9}=\sqrt{9}$

$3=3$ ----> is true

therefore

x=1 is not a an extraneous solution

therefore

Neither solution is extraneous
