Question

A student says x^2+36=(x+6)^2

Answer 1

the student is incorrect cause (x+6)^2 implies that the operation being done is x^2+6^2

Answer 2

x=0

Explanation:

-Use (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b to expand the expression.
-Cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation
-Swap the sides of the equation
-Divide both sides of the equation by 12
-Solution
x=0
