Answer:

D.    x = 12, solution is not extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

-4√(x - 3) = -12

Divide both sides by -4

√(x - 3) = 3

Square both sides

x - 3 = 9

add 3 to both sides

x = 12

To see if it's extraneous plug into original problem

-4√(12 - 3) = -12

-4√(9) = -12

-4 * 3 = -12

-12 = -12

not extraneous

Use rounding or compatible numbers to estimate the sum of 790-112
algol [13]
If the number ends in 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, we are going to round down.

If the number ends in 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, we are going to round up.

790 would stay the same as a good base number, 112 would become 110. This makes it so both numbers end in 0 and will even out the estimated sum.

790 - 110 = 680

680 would be a good estimated sum.
