Eloise started to solve a radical equation in this way: square root of negative 2x plus 1 − 3 = x square root of negative 2x plus 1 − 3 + 3 = x + 3 square root of negative 2x plus 1 = x + 3 square root of negative 2x plus 1 − 1 = x + 3 − 1 square root of negative 2 x = x + 2 ( square root of negative 2 x )2 = (x − 4)2 −2x = x2 − 8x + 16 −2x + 2x = x2 + 8x + 16 + 2x 0 = x2 + 10x + 16 0 = (x + 2)(x + 8) x + 2 = 0 x + 8 = 0 x + 2 − 2 = 0 − 2 x + 8 − 8 = 0 − 8 x = −2 x = −8 both solutions are extraneous because they don't satisfy the original equation. what error did eloise make?
