Solve 5 over x plus 8 equals 3 over x for x, and determine if the solution is extraneous or not. x = 12, non-extraneous x = 12, extraneous x = −12, non-extraneous x = −12, extraneous

We have to solve the equation

In order to solve it for x, subtract 3/x to both sides

Multiply both sides by LCM

On simplifying, we get

To check the extraneous solution, we plugging this value of x in the given equation and check if it satisfies or not

This is true. Hence, x=12 is a solution (non-extraneous) to the given equation.

A is the correct option.

1: -2 3/4, -2 1/2, -14, 0, 3, 8 1/3

2: -4, -3, -2 1/2, -2 1/4, 3 1/4,
