Which statement describes if there is an extraneous solution to equation square root of x - 3 = x - 5?

Remember that an extraneous solution of an equation, is the solution that emerges from solving the equation but is not a valid solution.

Lets solve our equation to find out what is the extraneous solution:

and  

and  

So, the solutions of our equation are  and . Lets replace each solution in our original equation to check if they are valid solutions:

- For  

We can conclude that 7 is a valid solution of the equation.

- For  

We can conclude that 4 is not a valid solution of the equation; therefore, 4 is a extraneous solution.

We can conclude that the correct answer is: D. the extraneous solution is x = 4
