This is Jovan’s solution for the equation x^2-8x-9=0:

x2 – 8x – 9 = 0

x2 – 8x = 9

x2 – 8x + 16 = 9 + 16

(x – 4)2 = 25

x – 4 = 25 and x – 4 = - 25

x = 29 and x = -21

Is Jovan’s solution correct?

Answer:

No, it's wrong

[tex] {x}^{2} - 8x - 9 = 0 \\ (x - 9)(x + 1) = 0 \\ x = 9 \: and \: - 1[/tex]

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
