Algebra II help please? Only one question

OpenStudy (savannah_noelle):

My birthday is 3/5/1997 so it would be [radical]x-97+3=5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{x-97}+3=5\] -3 -3 \[\sqrt{x-97}=2\] \[\sqrt{x-97}^{2}=2^{2}\] x-97=4 +97 +97 x=101

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to check if it is extraneous plug in x into the original equation and if it comes out to be 5, x isn't an extraneous solution, if it doesn't equal 5 then x=101 is an extraneous solution

Thank you sooo much, I really appreciate it!
