Answer:

Instead of moving the 3x to the opposite side of the equation they moved the 2x. And the correct answer is x=-6 not x=6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Student Work:

2(x + 4) – 8 = 3x+10-4

2x + 8–8 = 3x + 6

2x = 3x + 6

- 3x – 3x

X = 6

My work:

2(x+4)-8=3x+10-4

2x+8-8=3x+6

2x=3x+6

-x=6

x=-6

What are the solutions of the equation x4 - 9x2 + 8 = 0? Use u substitution to solve.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{B.\ x=\pm1\ and\ x=\pm2\sqrt2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^4-9x^2+8=0\\\\x^{2\cdot2}-9x^2+8=0\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\(x^2)^2-9x^2+8=0\\\\\text{substitute}\ x^2=t\geq0\\\\t^2-9t+8=0\\\\t^2-t-8t+8=0\\\\t(t-1)-8(t-1)=0\\\\(t-1)(t-8)+0\iff t-1=0\ \vee\ t-8=0\\\\t-1=0\qquad\text{add 1 to both sides}\\t=1\geq0\\\\t-8=0\qquad\text{add 8 to both sides}\\t=8\geq0$

$t=x^2\to x^2=1\ \vee\ x^2=8\\\\x^2=1\Rightarrow x=\pm\sqrt1\to x=\pm1\\\\x^2=8\Rightarrow x=\pm\sqrt8\to x=\pm\sqrt{4\cdot2}\to x=\pm\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt2\to x=\pm2\sqrt2$
