Question 624832: In solving the equation (x + 1)(x – 2) = 4, Eric stated that the solution would be
x + 1 = 4 => x = 3
or
(x – 2) = 4 => x = 6
However, at least one of these solutions fails to work when substituted back into the original equation. Why is that? Please help Eric to understand better; solve the problem yourself, and explain your reasoning.
