Extraneous solutions 2015-03-07
From Emily:
I have a question about Extraneous Solutions, Because I was recently researching to figure out on how to determine that a solution is extraneous and many of the answers talked about how if a answer is negative that it should always be extraneous but now I found out that positive solutions can also be considered as extraneous solutions so that is why I am really confused Extraneous Solution's.
I would really appreciate it if you could clearly explain to me how to determine an extraneous solution from a normal solution.
Thanks,
Emily

From Joe:

Question from Joe, a parent:

w+3    2w
----- - ----- = 1
w2-1   w-1

W2 is = w squared

                            -4
The answer is w= ------
                             3

but have no idea how this was solved. any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Two equations in two unknowns 2007-09-22
From Mary:
Having problems doing this problem, looking for a solution with the work. I would like to see how you got your answer, to see what I was doing wrong.

solve using the substitution method, is there "no solution" or "infinitely many solutions"

4x+y=4
2x+8y=0
