Israel started to solve a radical equation in this way: square root of x plus 6 − 4 = x
square root of x plus 6 − 4 + 4 = x + 4
square root of x plus 6 = x + 4
(square root of x plus 6)2 = (x + 4)2
x + 6 = x2 + 8x + 16
x + 6 − 6 = x2 + 8x + 16 − 6
x = x2 + 8x + 10
x − x = x2 + 8x + 10 − x
0 = x2 + 7x + 10
0 = (x + 2)(x + 5)

x + 2 = 0 x + 5 = 0
x + 2 − 2 = 0 − 2 x + 5 − 5 = 0 − 5
x = −2 x = −5

Solutions = −2, −5

What error did Israel make?

He subtracted 6 before subtracting x.
He added 4 before squaring both sides.
He factored x2 + 7x + 10 incorrectly.
He did not check for extraneous solutions.
