Q. Solve for x x . Enter the solutions from least to greatest.\newline(x+5)264=0 lesser x= greater x= \begin{array}{l} (x+5)^{2}-64=0 \\ \text { lesser } x=\square \\ \text { greater } x=\square \end{array}
  1. Write and Identify Equation: Write down the given equation and identify the type of equation.\newlineThe given equation is (x+5)264=0(x+5)^2 - 64 = 0, which is a quadratic equation in the form of a perfect square difference.
  2. Factor using Difference of Squares: Factor the equation using the difference of squares formula, a2b2=(ab)(a+b)a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b).\newline(x+5)264(x+5)^2 - 64 can be factored as ((x+5)+8)((x+5)8)((x+5) + 8)((x+5) - 8) because 6464 is 828^2.\newlineSo, the factored form is (x+5+8)(x+58)(x+5+8)(x+5-8) which simplifies to (x+13)(x3)(x+13)(x-3).
  3. Set and Solve for x: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.\newlineFirst, set x+13x+13 equal to zero: x+13=0x+13 = 0, which gives x=13x = -13.\newlineSecond, set x3x-3 equal to zero: x3=0x-3 = 0, which gives x=3x = 3.
  4. Identify Lesser and Greater Solutions: Identify the lesser and greater solutions.\newlineThe lesser solution is x=13x = -13, and the greater solution is x=3x = 3.
