Question

What is the steps for this equation.

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

The steps required in the solution are

Add 1 to both sides

Take the square root of both sides

Subtract 3 from both sides

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

Given

(x + 3)² - 1 = 35 ( add 1 to both sides )

(x + 3)² = 36 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 3 = ±
`√(36)` = ± 6 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = - 3 ± 6, thus

x = - 3 - 6 = - 9 or x = - 3 + 6 = 3
