Answer:

The solutions are x = -6 or x = +2

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to get the series of the equation given. we can find this by equating what we have to zero

Mathematically, we proceed as follows;

(x +2)^2 -16 = 0

This can be rewritten as;

(x + 2)^2 - 4^2 = 0

we can then proceed to use the difference of two squares to finish this off

Thus, we have

(x + 2 + 4)(x + 2 - 4) = 0

(x + 6)(x-2) = 0

X + 6 = 0 or x-2 = 0

x = -6 or x = +2
