Q. Create a list of steps, in order, that will solve the following equation.2(x+43)2−5=123Solution steps:Add 2 to both sidesAdd 5 to both sidesDivide both sides by 2Multiply both sides by 2Subtract 5 from both sidesSubtract 43 from both sides
Isolate quadratic term: Add 5 to both sides of the equation to isolate the quadratic term.2(x+(43))2−5+5=123+52(x+(43))2=128
Solve for squared term: Divide both sides by 2 to solve for the squared term.22(x+(43))2=2128(x+(43))2=64
Solve for x+43: Take the square root of both sides to solve for x+43.(x+43)2=±64x+43=±8
Solve for x: Subtract (43) from both sides to solve for x.x+(43)−(43)=±8−(43)x=±8−(43)
Simplify solutions: Simplify the right side of the equation for both positive and negative solutions.For the positive solution:x=8−43x=8−0.75x=7.25For the negative solution:x=−8−43x=−8−0.75x=−8.75
