I'm thinking this is what the problem looks like:

. The first thing to do is to move the

over to the other side because it has a common denominator with the other side. Doing that and at the same time combining them over their common denominator looks like this:

. The best way to solve for x now is to cross-multiply to get 3(4-x)=-4(x-4). Distributing through the parenthesis is 12 - 3x = -4x + 16. Solving for x gives us x = 4. Of course when we sub a 4 back in for x we get real problems, don't we? Dividing by zero breaks every rule in math that there ever was! So, yes, the solution is extraneous.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: 4
Answer:
Option (b) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 
We have too choose the correct simplification for the given statement.
Consider 
Using property of exponents,
We have,

Again applying property of exponents 
We have,

Simplify, we have,

we get,

Thus, 
Option (b) is correct.
edit; found the wrong thing lol
