Math question, please help. 9|9 – 8x| = 2x + 3  I have to find the extraneous solutions

anonymous · Answer

not sure what "extraneous solution" means
there are two solutions

anonymous · Answer

if $x>\frac{9}{8}$ solve 
$$9(8x-9)=2x+3$$

anonymous · Answer

Solve the equation. Check for extraneous solutions.

9|9 – 8x| = 2x + 3  (2 points) this is all the question says.

anonymous · Answer

oh "check" not find

anonymous · Answer

solve two equations 
$$9(9-8x)=2x+3$$ and 
$$9(8x-9)=2x+3$$
