Amelie found the solutions of the equation x^2-x=42 to be 6 and -7. Explain why this answer is incorrect. Then, find the correct solutions.

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-x=42

Check the solutions

6^2 -6 = 42

36-6 =42

30=42

This is not true so 6 is not a solution

Let's find the solutions

Subtract 42 from each side

x^2-x-42=0

Factor

(x-7)(x+6) =0

Using the zero product property

x-7 =0   x+6=0

x=7   x=-6

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
