But
is not in the domain of the given equation.
It is an extraneous solution.
is the only solution.
QUESTION 2
We add x to both sides,
We square both sides,
We expand to get,
This implies,
We solve this quadratic equation by factorization,
But
is an extraneous solution
-15 and -2 don’t make +17
Answer:
<em>Getting 21 ounces for $6.49 is a better deal!</em>
