Step-by-step explanation:
1
(x + 5)² = 4 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 5 = ± [tex]\sqrt{4}[/tex] = ± 2 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
x = - 5 ± 2, thus
x = - 5 - 2 = - 7
x = - 5 + 2 = - 3
--------------------------------------------
2
(x + 6)² = 7 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 6 = ± [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex] ( subtract 6 from both sides )
x = - 6 ± [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex], thus
x = - 6 - [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex]
x = - 6 + [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex]
------------------------------------------------
3
(x - 2)² = 18 ( take the square root of both sides )
x - 2 = ± [tex]\sqrt{18}[/tex] = ± [tex]\sqrt{9(2)}[/tex] = ± 3[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] ( add 2 to both sides )
x = 2 ± 3[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex], thus
x = 2 - 3[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]
x = 2 + 3[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]
