Daniel incorrectly solved the equations shown. Explain what he did wrong in each situation and then solve both equations correctly. 16x2 - 9 = 16 V16x2 - 19 - + 16
4x - 3 - +4
4x = +7
* = 14
(a)
IN
y3 - 1 = 7
= 8
(b)
y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the scanned description is very hard to understand.

so I think what happened :

16x² - 9 = 16

then the first error :

sqrt(16x²) - sqrt(9) = sqrt(16)

that is wrong, as you cannot split a + or - operation inside a sqrt function into + or - separate sqrt results of the parts.

so, correctly, the only possible transformation involving sqrt for both sides :

sqrt(16x² - 9) = sqrt(16)

but it would be even easier to clean up the various constant numbers with each other.

so,

16x² - 9 = 16

16x² = 25

and now we trashes the square root

sqrt(16x²) = sqrt(25)

4x = 5

x = 5/4 or x = -5/4

and I cannot see or understand for my life what the second equation was, as Daniel did something wrong, so I cannot deduct the original equation out of a supposedly wrong

y³ - 1 = 7

well if he bought them at 5 cedis each sold them at 7 cedis each then he would make a profit of 2 cedis of each book. if in total he made 150 cedis profit that means he sold 75 books. he lost 12 books at the start so that means he originally bought a total of 82 books.
