x=21
x=sqrt(21)

Nice job man

OpenStudy (luigi0210):
An extraneous solution is a solution that doesn't work
btw it's not sqrt{21}
OpenStudy (luigi0210):
It's just 21

\[\sqrt{x+2}=11\]
\[\sqrt{x}=9\]
\[x=81\]
OpenStudy (zale101):
think it's 81 , not 21
OpenStudy (zale101):
oh i subtracted 2 from both sides
OpenStudy (luigi0210):

i think so @Luigi0210 :-)
OpenStudy (zale101):
like luigi said, an extraneous solution is the solution that doesn't work. For example, if u come up with an answer where u can't divide by zero, the solution is extraneous.But the answer to your question is not extraneous, it's a solution.
