Remember that an extraneous solution of an equation is a solution that emerges from the algebraic process of solving the equation but is not a valid solution of the equation.
First, we are going to solve our equation algebraically:
Step 1 simplify the equation:


Step 2 subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:


Step 3 square both sides of the equation:


Next, we are going to replace our solution in our original equation and check if it is a valid solution:




Since 9 is not equal to 1,
is not valid solution of the equation; therefor it is an extraneous solution.
We can conclude that the correct answer is: x = 16, solution is extraneous
Answer:
The value of this inheritance is $78,192.28
Step-by-step explanation:
The monthly payments Sara will receive starting today for next 40 years is $500.
Annual Interest Rate = 7.3%
Monthly Interest Rate = Annual Interest Rate/12
=7.3/12
Monthly Interest Rate = 0.6083%
Present Value = $500 + $500/1.006083 + $500/1.006083^2 + $500/1.006083^3 + ... + $500/1.006083^479
Present Value = $500 * 1.006083 * (1 - (1/1.006083)^480) / 0.006083
Present Value = $500 * 156.39156
Present Value = $78,192.28
Thus, the value of this inheritance is $78,192.28
There's not enough given information in the question to calculate an answer.
If we only know that the volume of the box is 96 cm³, then there are an infinite
number of different lengths, widths, and surface areas that it could have.
Emma’s age is 26 and her sister is 15 because 26 - 15 = 11 (The age that Emma is older by) and once you add 26 and 15, it equals 41
