Solve (x + 9)2 = 25
1. apply the square root property of equality
2 isolate the variable
itx+95, then
if x +92 +5, then

x = - 14, x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x + 9)² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 9 = ± = ± 5

Subtract 9 from both sides

x = - 9 ± 5, that is

x = - 9 - 5 = - 14 or x = - 9 + 5 = - 4

or

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:

⇒

⇒ ⇒

factorizing, we get that:
