The answer is b. It cannot be c cause the answer would be a negative number. It cannot be a because there would be more than 100 lollipops altogether. And it cannot be d because the answer would be a fraction. There was 29 lollipops altogether. Hope this helps!

Which statement describes if there is an extraneous solution to the equation √x-3 = x-5? A. there are no solutions to the equati

Brrunno [24]

Remember that an extraneous solution of an equation, is the solution that emerges from solving the equation but is not a valid solution.

Lets solve our equation to find out what is the extraneous solution:
 $\sqrt{x-3} =x-5$
$(\sqrt{x-3})^2 =(x-5)^2$
$x-3=x^2-10x+25$
$x^2-11x+28=0$
$(x-4)(x-7)=0$
$x-4=0$ and $x-7=0$
$x=4$ and $x=7$

So, the solutions of our equation are $x=4$ and $x=7$ . Lets replace each solution in our original equation to check if they are valid solutions:
- For $x=7$
$\sqrt{x-3} =x-5$
$\sqrt{7-3} =7-5$
$\sqrt{4} =2$
$2=2$
We can conclude that 7 is a valid solution of the equation.

- For $x=4$
$\sqrt{x-3} =x-5$
$\sqrt{4-3} =4-5$
$\sqrt{1} =1$
$1 \neq 1$
We can conclude that 4 is not a valid solution of the equation; therefore, 4 is a extraneous solution.

We can conclude that the correct answer is: D. the extraneous solution is x = 4

Ellen claims she has a coin that is weighted so that the probability of heads is 70%.

kvasek [131]

Outcome Heads Tails
Relative Frequency 0.69 0.31

so first statement is false as 69% is close to 70%.

second statement is false as heads probability is close to 70%

last 2 statements are true:

The theoretical probability of tails is most likely 30%.

It is likely that the coin is not fair.
