  2. Extraneous Solutions A proposed solution that is not a solution of the original equation. These solutions arise from the solution method, but do not satisfy the original equation. Example One: Solve Always check your answer(s): Since -4 does not satisfy the original equation, it is an extraneous solution. Since 1 does satisfy the original equation, it is a solution.

  3. Extraneous Solutions A proposed solution that is not a solution of the original equation. These solutions arise from the solution method, but do not satisfy the original equation. Example Two: Solve Always check your answer(s): Since you can not divide by 0, 1 does not satisfy the original equation. It is an extraneous solution. Since all solutions are extraneous, there are No Solutionsto this equation.
