Answer:
x = -5
x = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
- 7x - 60 = x^2 + 10x
add 7x to both sides
x^2 + 17x = -60
add 60 to both sides
x^2 + 17x + 60 = 0
factorise quadratic
(x + 12) (x + 5) = 0
<em>x = -12</em>
<em>x = -12x = -5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The student assumed he was asked to factor
(a^2 - b^2)
Which is equal to
= (a+b)*(a-b) (His response)
But, he was asked to simplify
(a^2 + b^2)
Which has imaginary roots, and can be factored as:
(b +ai)(b-ai)
