WHOA!!!tat's amazing..
its wrong la :PYou can't simply remove the ^2 like that. You must consider the plus minus. Like just becausea^2 = b^2It doesn't mean thata = bMaybe a = -b and b = -aLike Mrs Koh always says.. squaring introduces extra answers :PSo must always check to see if the all the answers satisfy the equation.. In this case-(4 - 9/2) = (5 - 9/2) and(4 - 9/2) = -(5 - 9/2)are acceptable. But-(4 - 9/2) = -(5 - 9/2) and(4 - 9/2) = (5 - 9/2)are not. where got 4 = 5 wan :P
salute salute!!!

Maybe a = -b and b = -a

-(4 - 9/2) = (5 - 9/2)
and
(4 - 9/2) = -(5 - 9/2)
are acceptable. But
-(4 - 9/2) = -(5 - 9/2)
and
(4 - 9/2) = (5 - 9/2)
are not.
