Respuesta :

x = 6 is the extraneous solution of the equation

The equation given is

[tex]\sqrt{3x + 7}[/tex] = x -1

To find the Extraneous solution we need to square on both sides of the equation

[tex](\sqrt{3x + 7} )^{2}[/tex] =[tex](x - 1)^{2}[/tex]

3x + 7 = [tex]x^{2}[/tex] --2x + 1

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] - 5x - 6 = 0

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] - 6x + x - 6 = 0

x(x - 6) +1(x -6) =0

(x-6)(x+1) = 0

x = -1, 6

Now we need to put the value of x in the equation

x = -1

[tex]\sqrt{(3 * -1) + 7}[/tex] = -1 -1

[tex]\sqrt{4}[/tex] = -2

2≠ -2

Now put

x = 6

[tex]\sqrt{3 * 6 + 7}[/tex] = 6 -1

[tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex] = 5

5=5

Therefore we get to know that x = -1 is the extraneous solution and x = 6 is the solution of the equation
