Question

(x+8)^2-43=-38
Solve for all values of x in simplest form

Answer 1

x = √(5) - 8

x = -√(5) - 8

Explanation:

Let's solve the problem,

→ (x+8)² - 43 = -38

→ x² + 64 - 43 = -38

→ x² + 21 = -38

→ x² = -38 - 21

→ x = √(-59)

→ [ x = √(5) - 8 ]

(or) [ x = -√(5) - 8 ]

Hence, it is the value of x.
