Question 624934
Please someone help me with this problem :  In solving the equation (x+3)(x-3)- 8, Eric stated that the solution would be
 x + 3 - -8 - 7x = -11 
or
(x - 3) = -8 =7x = -5
However, at least one of these solutions fails to work when substituted bach into the original equation. Why is that?
====================
 In solving the equation (x+3)(x-3)- 8,
That's not an equation, there's no equal sign.
