Answer:
Jake's error in step 3
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

Complete the square
step 1
Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

step 2
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side


step 3
Rewrite as perfect squares

Jake's error in step 3
He placed 6 instead of 3 in the left side
step 4
take square root both sides

step 5

step 6

step 7
x=5 and x=1
The value of x is 24 because 24-12=12
I worked it out by doing the opposite so by doing 12+12
Then the value of y is also 24 and I used the same method
Answer:
No real solution- Not any of the options anyway
Step-by-step explanation:
So I replaced the x's with the two possible equations and then tried to solve...
2=4+(4x2-4)1/2
2=4+(8-4)1/2
2=4+(4)1/2
2=8(1/2)
2=4 Which is not true
10=4+(4x10-4)1/2
10=4+(40-4)1/2
10=4+36(1/2)
10=40(1/2)
10=20 Which is also not true
Therefore, there is no real solution
