Answer:

X=2

Explanation:

We can change the left side of the equation to (x+5)² which gives us

(x+5)²=49 now to get rid of the squared we can take the square root of both sides which gets us to x+5=7 and now subtract 5 from both sides to get your final answer of x=2

I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!
