Solve the rational equation x over 4 equals x squared over quantity 3x plus 3 and check for extraneous solutions. x = −3; x = 0 is an extraneous solution x = 0; x = −3 is an extraneous solution x = 0 and x = 3 x = 0 and x = −3

Gucchi:

im confused on this one idk what to pick

@tranquility

Tranquility:

\(\dfrac{x}{4} = \dfrac{x^2}{3x+3}\) Any ideas on how to solve for x?

Gucchi:

oh i alr know the answer its x <= (0,3) right?

Gucchi:

for*

Gucchi:

that problem

Tranquility:

yes, x =0, 3 An extraneous solution is when you solve the equation and you get a solution but when you plug back in the number, it doesn't make the equation true

Gucchi:

i was thinking c

Gucchi:

is the answer

Tranquility:

That is correct

Gucchi:
