Solve the rational equation x over 5 equals x squared over quantity x plus 2 and check for extraneous solutions.

there are not extraneous solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

given the rational equation:

we need to solve for "x":

multiply both sides of the equation by and by 5:

make the equation equal to zero:

now factor out :

then we get:

to check for extraneous solutions, substitute the values obtained into   :

for

(i'ts true)

for

(i'ts true)

therefore, there are not extraneous solutions.

answer: 230 miles ( vote ! )

step-by-step explanation:

180.39 minus 17.99 equals 162.4

then divide 162.4 by .80 to get 230

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

4x - 6 + 6 = 4x - 6 + 6

4x = 4x

x = x
