@Imtiaz7 Do you think you could help again?

OpenStudy (nikato):

have you tried solving for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. Would you like to see the solution?

OpenStudy (nikato):

yes please

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

Extraneous Solution is a solution of the simplified form of an equation that does not satisfy the original equation. so here if we put the value of x which is zero but it doesnt satisfy the original equation because it doesnt equal to be zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, If my equation Does equal zero and when I checked it, It was correct, Then my equation is not Extraneous?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Again, Thank you very very much

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

if it not equals to zero then it will be called extranous and here it is

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

No problem Lissie and cute cat :)

OpenStudy (nikato):

yes, once you find an answer, you want to plug it back ito the original equation to see if it is still true. if it is not true, then that answer is extraneous

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you :)

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):
