Please Help. Lateena solved the equation below. Is her solution correct? Explain why or why not?

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.

hope this helps :)
2x^3 + 2x^2 + 5x + 1/ x^2
(6y - 11)(6y + 11) = ay
² - b |use (a - b)(a + b) = a² - b²
(6y)² - 11² =ay² - b
36y² - 121 = ay² - b |add b to both sides
ay² = 36y² - 121 + b |divide both sides by y² ≠ 0
a = (36y² - 121 + b)/y²
