Q. Solve for x. Enter the solutions from least to greatest.Round to two decimal places.(x+8)2−7=0lesser x=greater x=
Write and prepare equation: Write down the given equation and prepare to solve for x. The given equation is (x+8)2−7=0.
Isolate squared term: Add 7 to both sides of the equation to isolate the squared term.(x+8)2−7+7=0+7(x+8)2=7
Take square root: Take the square root of both sides of the equation to solve for x+8.(x+8)2=±7x+8=±7
Solve for x: Subtract 8 from both sides to solve for x.x=−8±7
Calculate numerical values: Calculate the numerical values of x, rounding to two decimal places.x=−8+7≈−8+2.65≈−5.35 (greater solution)x=−8−7≈−8−2.65≈−10.65 (lesser solution)
