Both solutions are extraneous because they don't satisfy the original equation. What error did Eloise make? O She added 2x after squaring both sides. O She subtracted 1 before squaring both sides. O She factored x+ 10x + 16 incorrectly. She did not check for extraneous solutions

Transcribed Image Text:Eloise started to solve a radical equation in this way:
-2x+1-3=x
V-2x+1-3+3 = x +3
-2.x+1 =x+ 3
-2x+1-1= x + 3-1
V-2x = x+ 2
(-2x) = (x - 4)?
-2x x2- 8x + 16
-2x +2x = x + 8x + 16 + 2x
0 = x2 + 10x + 16
0 (x + 2)(x+ 8)
X +2 = 0
X +2-2 0-2
X + 8 = 0
X + 8 - 8 = 0-8
x = -8
x = -2
Both solutions are extraneous because they don't satisfy the original equation.
