5
=
93

Answer 1

x= 45 /2

Explanation:

2 ( x+ 2 ) 2 − 5 = 93

Let's Solve your equation step-by-step.

2(x+2)(2)−5=93

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(x+2)(2)−5=93

4x+8+−5=93(Distribute)

(4x)+(8+−5)=93(Combine Like Terms)

4x+3=93

4x+3=93

Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides.

4x+3−3=93−3

4x=90

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.

4x /4 = 90 /4

x= 45 /2
