Question

In which step did Montiah make an error?

3(x+8)2 + 8 = 83
3(x+8)2 = 75
Step 1
(x + 8)2 = 225
Step 2
X + 8 = +15
Step 3
X = 7 or x = -23 Step 4

Answer 1

Explanation:

I think you mean 3(x+8)², not 3(x+8)2. If you cannot type ², use ^ to mark the exponent: 3(x+8)^2.

3(x+8)² + 8 = 83

3(x+8)² = 75

(x+8)² = 25

x+8 = ±√25

x+8 = ±5

x = -8 ± 5 = -3, -13
