(x+3)^2+8=72
Answer:

Respuesta :

Answer:

The solutions are x=-11 and x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

[tex](x+3)^2+8=72[/tex]

Is a quadratic equation or equation of second degree.

The degree (largest exponent) is 2 so the maximum number of roots (solutions) is 2

Solve for x

[tex](x+3)^2=72-8[/tex]

[tex](x+3)^2=64[/tex]

take square root both sides

[tex]x+3=\pm8[/tex]

subtract 3 both sides

[tex]x=-3\pm8[/tex]

[tex]x=-3+8=5[/tex]

[tex]x=-3-8=-11[/tex]

therefore

The solutions are x=-11 and x=5

Answer:

x = 5, -11

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+3)² + 8 = 72

(x + 3)² = 64

When you square root both sides, put a +- with root(64)

(x + 3) = 8

x = 5

(x + 3) = -8

x = -11
