Answer:

The fifth line contains the error.

Explanation:

Line 1 is the equation.

Lines 2, 3, and 4 are correct.

The error is in the 5th line.

The square root of a negative number is not a real number, so if this problem is solved only with real numbers, there is no solution.

If imaginary numbers are allowed, then the last line should read:


x = \pm(i√(11))/(2)
