Solve (x + 9)2 = 25.
1. Apply the square root property of equality:
2. Isolate the variable.
Vax + 5)2 = 1/25
If x + 9 = 5, then x=
If x + 9 =-5, then x =

step-by-step explanation:

first, eliminate the parenthesis:

x

+

2

−

4

−

4

x

+

third, combine like terms:

(

−

4

)

x

+

→

−

1

x

+

2

→

−

x

+
