Q. Create a list of steps, in order, that will solve the following equation.2(x+2)2−5=93Solution steps:- Add 5 to both sides- Divide both sides by 2- Take the square root of both sides- Subtract 2 from both sides
Isolate quadratic term: Add 5 to both sides to isolate the quadratic term.2(x+2)2−5+5=93+52(x+2)2=98
Solve for squared term: Divide both sides by 2 to solve for the squared term.22(x+2)2=298(x+2)2=49
Solve for x+2: Take the square root of both sides to solve for x+2.(x+2)2=±49x+2=±7
