Answer:

No. Reduce 10/8 by dividing by 2. 10/8= 5, 8/2= 4. 10/8= 5/4. Reduce 16/20 by dividing by 4. 16/4= 4 , 20/4= 5. 16/20= 4/5.

Answer:

The error was done in Step E, because student did not multiply $2\cdot x -8$ by the negative sign in numerator. Step E must be $\frac{2\cdot x -5}{(x+4)\cdot (x-4)}$ .

The error was done in Step C, because the student omitted the $2\cdot a \cdot b$ of the algebraic identity $(a+b)^{2} = a^{2}+2\cdot a\cdot b +b^{2}$ . Step C must be $5\cdot x = x^{2}+4\cdot x + 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The error was done in Step E, because student did not multiply $2\cdot x -8$ by the negative sign in numerator. The real numerator in Step E should be:

$3-(2\cdot x -8)= 3-2\cdot x+8 = 11-2\cdot x$

Hence, Step E must be $\frac{2\cdot x -5}{(x+4)\cdot (x-4)}$ .

The error was done in Step C, because the student omitted the $2\cdot a \cdot b$ of the algebraic identity $(a+b)^{2} = a^{2}+2\cdot a\cdot b +b^{2}$ . Step C must be $5\cdot x = x^{2}+4\cdot x + 4$

And further steps are described below:

Step D

$x^{2}-x+4 = 0$
