Answer:
Step 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Meredith made a fatal mistake or error in step 2;
Any quadratic problem will always have two solutions. Therefore since, we only have one solution here, it is wrong. The mistake was incurred in step 2;
From the given problem ;
<u> Wrong right</u>
2(x + 4)² = 242
(x + 4)² = 121 Step 1
x+4=11 Step 2 x + 4 = ± 11
x = 7 Step 3 x + 4 = 11 or x + 4 = -11
x = 11- 4 or x = -11 - 4
x = 7 or -15
X^2 = 7^2 + 24^2x^2 =49 + 576x^2 = 625
x = 25
