13 - (x+2) = 8
subtract 13 from both sides
-(x+2) = -5
divide by -1 to get rid of negative
(x+2) = 5
subtract 2 from both sides
x=3
Answer:
x=-6 is an extraneous solution
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

squared both sides



solve the quadratic equation by graphing
The solution is x=-6 and x=-1
see the attached figure
<u><em>Verify each solution</em></u>
substitute the value of x in the original expression
For x=-6


----> is not true
so
Is an extraneous solution
For x=-1


----> is true
so
Is the solution
