Q. Create a list of steps, in order, that will solve the following equation.5(x−3)2+4=129Solution steps:- Add 3 to both sides- Add 4 to both sides- Divide both sides by 5- Subtract 3 from both sides- Subtract 4 from both sides- Square both sides- Take the square root of both sides
Isolate the variable term: Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with the variable.5(x−3)2+4−4=129−45(x−3)2=125
Further isolate the squared term: Divide both sides by 5 to further isolate the squared term.55(x−3)2=5125(x−3)2=25
Solve for the term containing the variable: Take the square root of both sides to solve for the term containing the variable.(x−3)2=±25x−3=±5
Solve for x: Add 3 to both sides to solve for x.x−3+3=±5+3x=8 or x=−2
