What is the solution of the equation? eliminate any extraneous solutions. (−2x + 6)15= (−8 + 10x)15?

Divide both sides by 15:  -2x +6 = -8 + 10x
Add 2x to both sides:               6 = -8 + 12x
Add 8 to both sides:                14 = 12x
Divide both sides by 12:          14/12 = x
Reduce the fraction:                  7/6 = x

x = 7/6

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
