Answer:

312

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio is 7:8, mark it as 7x:8x.

Now, they said that the first length is 273. Solve the equation:

7x=273

x=39

Substitute it into 8x. 39*8=312. That's your answer.

REY [17]

Since we know there are 3 quarts of pineapple juice and 2 gallons of orange juice the first thing you need to do is convert the units of the orange juice to quarts.
If there are 4 quarts in a gallon and we have 2 gallons then we have 8 quarts (4*2)
So 3 quarts of pineapple juice to 8 quarts of orange juice.
The ratio would be 3:8

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
