How do you solve 1/4(x+5)^2-1=3 in steps?

x = -1, -9

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

1/4(x+5)^2-1=3

rewriting:

add 1 to both sides:

divide both sides by 1/4:

square root both sides:

subtract 5 from both sides, we now have two equations to solve:

x = - 5 - 4                     x = - 5 + 4

x = -9                                x = - 1

x = -1, -9

Hopefully this helps, have a nice day! :D

Edit: The other answer forgot to solve for when 4 is negative

Edit #2: They have fixed it now

answer is : muchas/tipicas

have a nice day!
