Answer:
- x = ±√3, and they are actual solutions
- x = 3, but it is an extraneous solution
Step-by-step explanation:
The method often recommended for solving an equation of this sort is to multiply by the product of the denominators, then solve the resulting polynomial equation. When you do that, you get ...
... x^2(6x -18) = (2x -6)(9)
... 6x^2(x -3) -18(x -3) = 0
...6(x -3)(x^2 -3) = 0
... x = 3, x = ±√3
_____
Alternatively, you can subtract the right side of the equation and collect terms to get ...
... x^2/(2(x -3)) - 9/(6(x -3)) = 0
... (1/2)(x^2 -3)/(x -3) = 0
Here, the solution will be values of x that make the numerator zero:
... x = ±√3
_____
So, the actual solutions are x = ±3, and x = 3 is an extraneous solution. The value x=3 is actually excluded from the domain of the original equation, because the equation is undefined at that point.

<em>Comment on the graph</em>
For the graph, we have rewritten the equation so it is of the form f(x)=0. The graphing program is able to highlight zero crossings, so this is a convenient form. When the equation is multiplied as described above, the resulting cubic has an extra zero-crossing at x=3 (blue curve). This is the extraneous solution.
9. $112.50 / 9 lawns = $12.50 per lawn
10. $122.50 / 7 lawns = $17.50 per lawn
11. $112.50 / 7.5 hours = $15.00 per hour
$122.50 / 5 hours = $24.50 per hour
Alastair earns more per hour
12. Taryn: 49 more hours ($735 / $15.00)
Alastaie: 30 more hours ($735 / $24.50)
You found how much money they charge per hour in 11 so use that to find how many hours it takes to earn $735.
6= 4(z+9)/y+2
6y +12 =4(z+9)
6y=4(z+9) -12
y=(4(z+9)-12)/6
y=2z+18-6/3
y=2z+12 /3
