Solve the rational function of (check image) and check for extraneous solutions

Option A is correct.

i.e. x = 1, x = 0 is an extraneous solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

Solving the rational function

Apply fraction across multiply: if

Subtract x(4x+1) from both sides

Simplify

5x² - 4x² - x = 0

x² - x = 0

Factor x² - x = x(x-1)

so

x(x-1) = 0

Using the zero factor principle

if ab=0, then a=0 or b=0 (or both a=0 and b=0)

Thus, the solution to the equation is:

But, it is clear that if we substitute x = 0, the equation becomes undefined because we can not have the denominator to be 0.

In other words, the equation is undefined for x = 0

Thus, x = 0 is an extraneous solutions.

Therefore, option A is correct.

i.e. x = 1, x = 0 is an extraneous solution.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
