Question

Explain the steps used to solve x - 2 = v(x + 10) and check for extraneous solutions.

Answer 1

what's the v for?

Answer 2

i dont know.....thats what it says

Answer 3

well

x - 2 = v(x+10)

x - 2 = x*v + 10v
x - x*v = 2 + 10v
x(1-v) = 2+10v

x =(2 + 10v)/(1-v)

in this case, your answer would depend on the value of v.

notice however, that v can't = 1. if it does, then you are dividing by zero.

so the solutions are all values of v except v = 1
