Answer:

7; solution is not extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

[tex]\sqrt{3x+4}=5[/tex]

Solve for x

squared both sides

[tex](\sqrt{3x+4})^2=5^2[/tex]

[tex]3x+4=25[/tex]

subtract 4 both sides

[tex]3x=25-4[/tex]

[tex]3x=21[/tex]

Divide by 3 both sides

[tex]x=7[/tex]

Verify

Substitute the value of x in the original equation

[tex]\sqrt{3(7)+4}=5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{21+4}=5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{25}=5[/tex]

[tex]5=5[/tex] ----> is true

therefore

The value of x=7 is a solution, Is not a extraneous
