Identify any extraneous soloution. see pic above

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

= x - 4 ( square both sides )

- x  4 = (x - 4)² ← expand

- x + 4 = x² - 8x + 16 ( subtract - x + 4 from both sides )

0 = x² - 7x + 12 ← in standard form

0 = (x - 3)(x - 4) ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

As a check

Substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions

x = 3 : = = 1

right side = 3 - 4 = - 1

left side ≠ right side ⇒ extraneous solution

x = 4 : = 0 and right side = 4 - 4 = 0

left side = right side ⇒ x = 4 is the solution

a. turk and mcalister

b. howard, mission, and market

c. yes. since streets end some do not cross yet are not parallel to others. example: mcalister and 5th

step-by-step explanation:

parallel lines are lines which do not intersect ever and look a lot like railroad tracks. turk, mcalister and golden gate are examples of these.

intersect are streets which cross each other and a car on one can reach the other. howard, mission, and market intersect with 6th.

skew lines are lines which neither intersect nor are parallel. these lines exist here because some streets end and never intersect another like mcalister and 5th.

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
