HELPP. Diego and Amit were trying to solve the equation: X^2– 8x = 1
Diego said, "I can solve by completing the square. If I add 16 to each side, I can rewrite the equation as
(x - 4)2 = 17
Amit said, "I'll subtract 1 from each side and rewrite the equation as x^2 – 8x – 1= 0. Then I'll use the
quadratic formula with a = 1,b= -8, and C = -1."
Whose solution strategy would work?
A. only Diego’s
b. Only amits
C. both
d. neither
