Q. Elena is solving the following equation for x.33x−5+2=7Her first few steps are given below.33x−5(33x−5)33x−5=5=(5)3=125Is it necessary for Elena to check her answers for extraneous solutions?Choose 1 answer:(A) Yes(B) No
Start with equation: Elena starts with the equation:33x−5+2=7She wants to isolate the cube root term, so she subtracts 2 from both sides of the equation:33x−5=5
Subtract to isolate: Next, Elena raises both sides of the equation to the power of 3 to eliminate the cube root:(33x−5)3=53This gives us:3x−5=125
Raise to eliminate: Elena then adds 5 to both sides of the equation to solve for x:3x=130
Add to solve for x: Finally, Elena divides both sides by 3 to find the value of x:x=3130
