    I forgot that we needed n^2 instead of just n so I spent a few minutes confused on what did I do wrong lol.

    Great solution.
    You don't need to divide 2x on both sides because there is no restriction that x is not zero. Dividing zero is not possible.
    The safest way is to directly equate 2n and 19, that is,
    2n = 19 which implies n = 19/2 and further implies that n^2 = 361/4.

    (x+n)²= x²+19x+n²
    x²+2nx+n² = x²+19x+n²
    2n= 19
    n = 19/2
    n² = (19/2)²
    n²= 361/4

    Nice one! Thanks.

    Dividing by X is not permitted unless you set X to be different from 0, you should focus more on conditions of existence and conditions of acceptability

    Fun fact: calculating the solution in decimal is not harder.
    19/2 = 9.5
    9.5^2 = (9.5*10)^2/10^2 = 95^2/100 = (9*10&25)/100 = 9025/100 = 90.25
    And for check: 361/4 = 360/4 + 1/4 = 90 + 0.25 = 90.25

    Don’t worry the teachers were right, you’ll need to know this in your everyday life

    x^2 + 2xn + n^2 = x^2 + 19x + n^2
    Removing duplications gives
    2xn = 19x
    Then
    2n = 19
    n = 19/2
    So n^2 = 361/4
    Answer c}

    At 0:39 when this girl says "set them equal to each other." she meant subtract n^2 and x^2 on both sides, that is, getting rid of the n^2 and x^2, and solve for *n* alone!
    Very badly said!

    This is absurd, every value for n works if x=0, the question is incorrect. You get it because you divide by x, which you cannot do

    • @Smugly33810

      The question is asking for the value of n^2 for all values of x. though it is not explicitly stated, the framing of the question makes it clear.

      You're right that this is the meaning of the question, but the question is mathematically incorrect.
