Please Help. Lateena solved the equation below. Is her solution correct? Explain why or why not?
1 answer:
Answer:
Not correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
x² - 6x - 7 = 0
The following equation can be solved correctly by factoring Thus,
x² - x + 7x - 7 = 0
x(x - 1) +7(x - 1) = 0
(x - 1)(x + 7) = 0
(x - 1) = 0
x - 1 = 0
x - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1
x = 1
Or
(x + 7) = 0
x + 7 = 0
x + 7 - 7 = 0 - 7
x = -7
Therefore, the solution would be x = 1 or x = -7
Lateena solution is therefore NOT CORRECT because she used a wrong method.
