What other compatible numbers could you use for 428 and 286

How about raising 286 up by 14 to 300 and compensating by lowering 428 by the same 14 Since I know that 14 + 14 is 28 then 28-14 is 14
So 428 - 14 = 414
So now I have 414 + 300 which I can do mentally - the answer is 714 and is also the answer to the original problem 428 + 286

Compensation works very well - bring one number up or down to a rounded number and compensate by doing the opposite to the other - instead of 199 + 457 - try 200 + 456
Same answer and because one of the numbers is nicely rounded, it is easy to add the other.

One more: 207 + 182 becomes 200 + 189 =389 I lowered one by 7 and raised the other one by the same 7.

Brianne solved a quadratic equation. Her work is shown below, with Step 2 missing.

Alja [10]

Given:

The given quadratic equation is

$3(x+4)^{2} = 48$

or, $(x+4)^{2} =16$

And

The roots are given: $x = -8 , x = 0$

To find the missing step.

Let us solve the equation.

$3(x+4)^{2} = 48$

or, $(x+4)^{2} = 16$

or, $x^{2} +8x+16 = 16$ [ eliminating 16 from both the side]

or, $x^{2} +8x = 0$

or, $x(x+8) = 0$

or, $x = 0, x = -8$

Hence,

The step 2 could be $x^{2} +8x = 0$
