Answer 8

fractions!

Answer 9

@wolfe8 help plz!

Answer 10

What does it mean classify the solutions?

Answer 11

well, shes offline :/

Answer 12

Im so soorry I was rushing home! @wolfe8

Answer 13

It's ok. What does it mean by classify the solutions?

Answer 14

I guess to simplify..one of the answers is x=-4 extraneous

Answer 15

@wolfe8

Answer 16

I mean, I can solve for x but not sure about classifying...

Answer 17

Well lets see what it comes out too!

Answer 18

Oooh wait you can't solve it normally. It wouldn't have a solution. I can't remember how to do this. I'm sorry. I thought it was a simple one.

Answer 19

Ok thankss

Answer 21

@ganeshie8 please help..

Answer 22

yes u may use below word to classify :
"No solutions"

Answer 23

its not an option :/

Answer 24

wat are your options ? :)
you may use 'inconsistent'
but that word is reserved for a system of equations

Answer 25

x=-4 extraneous x=-4 non extraneous x=-8 extraneous x=-8 non extraneous

Answer 26

okay, then we're interpreting the equation incorrectly.

Answer 27

can u take the snapshot of original q and post it ?

Answer 28

1/x+4+1/2=1/x+4

can be interpreted in many ways, cuz parenthesis are missing here

Answer 29

ok

Answer 30

thank you :)
lets solve this.

Answer 31

multiply both sides wid 2(x+4), you wud get :

2 + x+4 = 2

Answer 32

simplifying, gives
x = -4

however, u cannot put this solution in the equation cuz that wud result in a 0 in the denominator of fraction. so the answer wud be x = -4 and extraneous

Answer 33

extraneous solution = illegal/ fake solution

Answer 34

Ugh thank you soo much! !

Answer 35

Can you helo with one more!

Answer 36

@ganeshie8

Answer 37

get rid of fractions

Answer 38

multiply 10x both sides

Answer 39

wat do u get ? :)

Answer 40

20 and 30?

Answer 41

is latex working for u ?
do u see below in red ?
\(\color{red}{\text{do u see this in red ?}}\)

Answer 42

Wait whaaa?

Answer 43

for many users latex is not working today.
let me knw if u see my previous reply in red color :o

Answer 44

Im not working for anyone lol

Answer 45

@ganeshie8

Answer 46

latex = equation editer

ok

Answer 47

today 'equation editor' is not working lol

Answer 48

ohhh hhahaha

Answer 49

after multiplying 10x both sides u wud get :-

4x + 6 = x(x+5)

x^2 + x - 6 = 0

you can solve this now ?

Answer 50

add 6 on both sides

Answer 51

nope, we need to factorize it

Answer 52

Aw man ok

Answer 53

x^2 + x - 6 = 0

(x+3)(x-2) = 0

x = -3 or x = 2

Answer 54

Mhmm I see thanks so much . youre the best

Answer 55

nope, you're the best :) u wlc !
