Question 10 • *26-27 CFISD Algebra II B CR

Which of the following did you include in your answer?

Answer

No, the student did not check the solution to the derived equation in the original equation.

No, a possible solution is a = –2, but it does not check in the original equation because it makes two of the denominators equal to zero.

No, a = –2 is an extraneous solution, and there is no solution to the original rational equation.
