Answer:
(x+3)
2
=43
BY TAKING SQUARE ROOT ON BOTH SIDES
x + 3 = \sqrt{43}x+3=
43
OR
x + 3 = - \sqrt{43}x+3=−
43
THUS
x = \sqrt{43} - 3x=
43
−3
OR
x = - \sqrt{43} - 3x=−
43
−3
THIS QUADRATIC EQUATION HAS 2 SOLUTIONS SINCE √43 CAN BE A POSITIVE OR A NEGATIVE INTEGER. FOR EXAMPLE, 2^2=4
BUT, (-2)^2=4 Thus. √4=2 or (-2)
After this. Simply shifting the 3 on the LHS to keep 'x' on one side to find its value.
