Astudent solves the following equation and
determines that the solution is -2. is the
student correct? explain.
3
a + 2
6
a? - 4
1
a - 2

The solution of the equation is (a = -2) and this can be determined by using the arithmetic operations.

Given :

Equation  -  

The following steps can be used to evaluate the given equation:

Step 1 - Write the equation.

Step 2 - Rewrite the above equation.

Step 3 - Take the LCM.

Step 4 - Further simplify the above expression.

Step 5 - Cancel out the denominator of both sides and then further simplify.

No, the student is not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the equation is  

We can see that  will render the equation undefined.

This is because there will be a division by zero error

Therefore cannot be a solution.

It is an extraneous solution solution.

Hence the student is incorrect

its the fourth option

i think asking google will you get the answer to that question
