Answer:

Explanation:

Answer to first question = her mistake was that she wrote the constant to be 10 whereas the constant is actually -10 once you rearrange the equation to look like a quadratic equation.

Quadratic equations are written in form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0

You are given x^2 + 3x = 10, first you need to bring the constant c (10) to the left side (by subtracting 10 on both sides).

x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0

c = -10

Answer to second part:

x = 2, -5
