This is Mrs. Galicia’s solution for the equation. Is Mrs. Galicia’s solution correct? Explain in complete sentences also, what are the correct solutions.

Given:

Given that Mrs. Galicia’s solution for the equation.

We need to determine whether Mrs. Galicia’s solution is correct or not.

Also, we need to determine the correct solutions.

Mrs. Galicia’s solution:

Step 4:

Step 5:

After step 4, Mrs. Galicia’s did not take square root on both sides to determine the value of x.

Thus, Mrs. Galicia’s made in mistake in step 5, by solving the equation without taking square root on both sides.

Hence, Mrs. Galicia’s solution is wrong.

Correct solutions:

The equation is

Solving, we get;

Completing the square, we have;

Taking square root on both sides, we get;

Thus, the values of x are given by

and

      and      

Thus, the correct solutions are x = 9 and x = -1

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
