Question

[NO LINKS]

Answer 1

Answer:

• No

Step-by-step explanation:

• x² – 8x – 9 = 0
• x² – 8x = 9
• x² – 8x + 16 = 9 + 16
• (x – 4)² = 25
• x – 4 = 25 and x – 4 = - 25 ⇒ Incorrect, should be x - 4 = 5 and x - 4 = -5
• x = 29 and x = -21                ⇒ Incorrect, should be x = 9 and x = -1

Answer 2

Answer:

No, it's wrong

${x}^{2} - 8x - 9 = 0 \\ (x - 9)(x + 1) = 0 \\ x = 9 \: and \: - 1$
