Classify the solution of 3/x+5+1/5=2/x+5 as extraneous or non-extraneous.

OpenStudy (triciaal):

Please rewrite using "draw" this is not clear

OpenStudy (triciaal):

from the internet In mathematics, an extraneous solution (or spurious solution) is a solution, such as that to an equation, that emerges from the process of solving the problem but is not a valid solution to the original problem. A missing solution is a solution that was a valid solution to the original problem, but disappeared during the process of solving the problem. Both are frequently the consequence of performing operations that are not invertible for some or all values of the variables, which prevents the chain of logical implications in the proof from being bidirectional.

OpenStudy (monteskellie):

3/x +5 + 1/5 =2/x+5 Does this help

OpenStudy (triciaal):

basically this means you solve the problem get 2 or more solutions but the extraneous solution does not work in the original
