This is Josh's solution for the equation x^2+12x+32=0:

x^2+12x+32=0

x^2+12x=-32

x^2+12x+36=-32+36

(x+6) ^2=4

x+6=4

x=-2

x+6=-4

x=-10

Is Josh's solution correct? Explain why or why not.

Crystal Ramirez · Answer 1

The answer is x=10 because I did the math in my brain so fast

Nathaniel Knox · Answer 2

x²+12x+32=0

x²+12x=-32

x²+12x+36=-32+36

(x+6) ²=4 all after this part is wrong, it should be √ (x+6) ² = + / - √4

x+6=+/-2, x1=2-6=-4, x2=-2-6=-8

x+6=4 wrong!

x=-2

x+6=-4

x=-10
