Answer:

We have a problem here, Houston.

Explanation:

Is "(x+5)2=36" supposed to be (x+5)^2=36 ?

If so,

x = ± 11

-----------------------

If it is indeed (x+5)2=36

then:

2x + 10 = 36

2x = 26

x = 13

None of the answer options fir either of these two interpretations of the equation provided. Please check the equation.
