Step-by-step explanation:

x/(x + 2) + 1/x = 1

x² + (x + 2) = x(x + 2)

x² + x + 2 = x² + 2x

x = 2.

Since x = 2 neither makes (x + 2) or x become 0, there are no extraneous solutions.

The answer is "The equation has 1 valid solution and no extraneous solutions." (C)

The true statement is (c) the equation has one valid solution and no extraneous solutions

The equation is given as:

[tex]\frac{x}{x + 2} + \frac 1x = 1[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]\frac{x^2 + x + 2}{x(x + 2)} = 1[/tex]

Expand the numerator

[tex]\frac{x^2 + x + 2}{x^2 + 2x} = 1[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]x^2 + x + 2 = x^2 + 2x[/tex]

Subtract x^2 from both sides

[tex]x + 2 = 2x[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]2x -x = 2[/tex]

[tex]x = 2[/tex]

Hence, the equation has one valid solution and no extraneous solutions
