Answer:

x=8 and is not extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-5)+11=17

2x-10+11=17

2x+1=17

2x=17-1

2x=16

x=8

extraneous means it is a solution, but it is not possible in the equation, to determine if it is extraneous, plug it in to the original equation

2(8-5)+11=17

2(3)+11=17

6+11=17

17=17

since it works in the orignial equation it is not extraneous
