Which statement best reflects the solution(s) of the equation? √3x+1 −x+3=0 (note it's the square root of 3x+1) a. there is only one solution: x = 8. the solution x = 1 is an extraneous solution. b. there is only one solution: x = 8. the solution x = 0 is an extraneous solution. c. there is only one solution: x = 1. the solution x = 8 is an extraneous solution. d. there are two solutions: x = 1 and x = 8.

√3x+1 −x+3=0

(√3x+1)^2 =(x-3)^2

3x + 1 = x^2 - 6x + 9

0 = x^2 - 9x + 8

0= (x - 8) (x – 1)

 X = 8 and x = 1

First let’s solve for x = 8

√3 (8) + 1 – (8) + 3 = 0

√24 + 1 – 5 =0

√25 – 5 =0

5-5=0

0=0

X=8 is a solution

For x=1

√3 (1) + 1 – (1) + 3 = 0

√4 – 4 =0

2 – 4 =0

-2=0

X=1 is not a solution

Therefore:

a. There is only one solution: x = 8. The solution x = 1 is an extraneous solution.

you should talk someone who owns the website about it. you did not deserve to have all that hard work and time taken away. id watch videos of little puppies to cool you down, and maybe some nacho cheese doritos.
