Answer:(b) step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

MrRoyal

The wrong step in the student's workings is step 1

How to determine the wrong step?

The equation is given as:

x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0

Expand the equation

x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8 = 0

Factorize the equation

x(x + 2)- 4(x + 2)

Factor out x + 2

(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0

The above means that the factored equation of x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0 is (x - 4)(x + 2) = 0

This means that the step 1 of the student's step is wrong and incorrect
