Solve 5 over x plus 8 equals 3 over x for x and determine if the solution is extraneous or not. x = 12, non-extraneous x = 12, extraneous x = -12, non-extraneous x = -12, non-extraneous

2. anonymous

i think x = 12 but idk if its extraneous or not

3. anonymous

@timo86m

4. Nnesha

substitute x value into original question to check if it's an extraneous or not if both sides are equal then nope if both sides are not equal then yes it's an extraneous

5. anonymous

can u write it down ?

6. anonymous

okay @Nnesha and yeah give me a sec @timo86m

7. anonymous

$\frac{ 5 }{ x + 8 } = \frac{ 3 }{ x }$

8. anonymous

okay now im gonna plug it in

9. anonymous

and yes they equal each other

10. anonymous

so the answer is x = 12 not extraneous

11. Nnesha

yes right

12. anonymous
