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,

From tom: i need an equation where x=-2 is the correct answer and x=-3 is an extraneous solution. can you provide me with such an equation?? Answered by Harley Weston.
From Janie: I have to State the excluded values for this equation and then solve, but not sure how to do this. Here is the problem
(x+6)/x+3=(3)/(x+3)+2 Answered by Harley Weston.
From iyana: what is an extraneous solution? what must you do to determine whether a extraneous solution? Answered by Stephen La Rocque and Harley Weston.
From Nicole: When I have a problem like (2x + 3)/5 = (x + 1)/6 and the question asks to check for extraneous solutions, how do you solve that? Answered by Penny Nom.
