Question

This is Adele’s solution for the equation.
x² - 8x – 33 = 0
Step 1: x² - 8x = 33
Step 2: x² - 8x + 16 = 33 + 16
Step 3: (x – 4)² = 49
Step 4: x – 4 = 49 OR x – 4 = - 49
Step 5: x = 53 OR x = - 45
Where did Adele make her mistake? What are the solutions to this equation? Show all of your work.

Answer: She messed up in Step 1

She first should of tried to factor it first. There she can see that 3 and -11 work together in order to get (x+3)(x-11)

x= -3 and x=11

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the equation in factor form;

x²-8x-33=0

( x-11) ( x + 3)=0

x-11=0

x +3= 0

x=11

x= -3

ans= She messed up in step 1.
