Explain why the equation(x-2)^2-40=9 has two solutions. then solve the equation to find the solutions. show all work and i will give brainliest.

Not too good with an explanation, but when seeing the (x-2)^2, you understand that the highest power or the leading term should be . The power of the leading or the highest power would tell you how many solutions that equation has. For example, X + 3 = 0, has 1 solution, x^10 + 1 = 0 has 10 solutions.









Use diamond or any type of factor that you learn

(x - 9)(x+5) = 0
x = 9 or x = -5
