Answer:

Extraneous Solutions An extraneous solution is a root of a transformed equation that is not a root of the original equation because it was excluded from the domain of the original equation. Example 1: Solve for x, 1 x − 2 + 1 x + 2 = 4 (x − 2) (x + 2).

Tony has a hosepipe. The length of the hosepipe is 20 m. Tony stores the hosepipe on a reel. The weight of the reel is 1.4 kg. 1

harina [27]

Answer:

the total weight of the hosepipe and the reel is 7.4 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the weight of the hosepipe, we know that 1/2 metre of the hosepipe has a weight of 150 grams, therefore we can conclude that 1 meter has a weight of (150)(2) = 300 grams.

If one meter weighs 300 grams, then 20 meters have a weight of $20(300) = 6000$ grams. But since 1000 grams are 1 kg, this would be equivalent to 6 kg.
