I would pick the third choice because in order to find x, you must multipy your 4.
The purple dot goes in the 5. For the green dot count 3! Lines to the left (where there’s no numbers, that’s your left) and there it goes.
Y/x = ft/time =
A) 3/5 = 0.6
B) 3/9 = 1/3 = 0.67
C) 10/6 = 5/3 = 1.67
D) 18/3 = 6
Therefore A is the correct answer.
For this case, we have the following equation (according to the comments):

First, we factor the quadratic expression in the denominator:

Then, we multiply both sides of the equation by (a-2) (a + 2):

Later, canceling similar terms we have:

We do distributive property on the left side of the equation:

By grouping variables and constant terms we have:

Rewriting we have:

Finally, by clearing "a" we have:

Note: the value of a is a extraneous solution because it makes the denominator of the original equation equal to zero.
Answer:
the student correct, but the value of a= -2 is an extraneous solution
