Final answer:

Extraneous solutions do not occur in linear equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is FALSE. Extraneous solutions can occur in certain equations, but not in the form a√x + b + c = d. The given equation is a linear equation, not a quadratic equation, and linear equations do not have extraneous solutions.
