Answer 3

can you help with this question and another one

Answer 4

To me, just 16 is a solution, no extraneous solution.

Answer 5

@Hero can you help with 2 question quickly

Answer 6

@jim_thompson5910 can you help

Answer 7

when you replace w with 16, and then simplify the left side, what do you get?

Answer 8

4

Answer 9

that's not equal to -4 on the right side

Answer 10

so w = 16 is not a solution

Answer 11

how about w = -16?

Answer 12

sorry i dont get this much can u explain

Answer 13

well it turns out that you cannot take the square root of a negative number and get some real number as a result

Answer 14

so w = -16 isn't a solution either

Answer 15

Ok

Answer 16

then what

Answer 17

neither 16 nor -16 are solutions

Answer 18

So its no solution

Answer 19

yes

Answer 20

thanks now my last question if u dont mind

Answer 21

simplify the rational expression. state any excluded values.

\[\frac{ 7x-14 }{ x-2}\]

0

Answer 22

what do 7 and 14 have in common (in terms of factors)?

Answer 23

i think it b

Answer 24

*its
