Answer:

No. Although solving the equation gives a = -2, substituting -2 makes two denominators in the original equation equal to zero. So -2 is an extraneous solution, and the original equation has no solution.

Which of the following did you include in your answer?

A
No, the student did not check the solution to the derived equation in the original equation.
B
No, a possible solution is a = –2, but it does not check in the original equation because it makes two of the denominators equal to zero.
C
No, a = –2 is an extraneous solution, and there is no solution to the original rational equation.
