Answer:
Her first error was adding the wrong number to both sides. Instead of 4², it should be 2²
Step-by-step explanation:
When completing the square, the number that needs to be added to both sides is (b/2)²
In this problem, b is 4. So, Carly should have added 2² to both sides, but she added 4² instead.
So, her first error was adding 4² to both sides instead of 2²

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the son's age now. Then s+32 is the father's age. In 4 years, we have ...
5(s+4) = (s+32)+4
5s +20 = s +36 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
4s = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract s+20
s = 4
The son is now 4 years old; the father, 36.
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
In 4 years, the ratio of ages is ...
father : son = 5 : 1
The difference of their ages at that time is 5-1 = 4 "ratio units". Since the difference in ages is 32 years, each ratio unit must stand for 32/4 = 8 years. That is, the future age ratio is ...
father : son = 40 : 8
So, now (4 years earlier), the ages must be ...
father: 36; son: 4.
