Question

Rewrite! Write an new and equivalent equation that is easier to solve

Answer 1

$\huge\underline{\red{A}\blue{n}\pink{s}\purple{w}\orange{e}\green{r} -}$

• Given - an equation in it's general form

• To do - convert the given equation into a form that is easy to solve

Given equation -

$\bold{(x + 2) {}^{2} + 4(x + 2) - 5 = 0}$

solve the parenthesis so as to obtain simpler terms

$\bold{\implies \: ( x {}^{2} + 4x + 4 ) + 4x + 8 - 5 = 0}$

solve the like terms and you'll obtain the required equation !

$\bold{\implies \: x {}^{2} + 8x - 7 = 0}$

Answer 2

${\large{\red{\mapsto{\maltese{\underline{\green{\boxed{\blue{\underbrace{\overbrace{\pink{\pmb{\bf{Answer:}}}}}}}}}}}}}}$

x = -7, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf {(x + 2)}^{2} + 4(x + 2) - 5 = 0$

let (x + 2) = y

So equation will be

$\sf {y}^{2} + 4y - 5 = 0$

Further it becomes quadratic equation

we will solve it by breaking middle term method

$\sf \implies {y}^{2} + 5y - y - 5 = 0 \\ \\ \sf \implies y(y + 5) - 1(y + 5) = 0 \\ \\ \sf \implies (y + 5)(y - 1) = 0$

Now put the value of y

$\sf \implies (x + 2 + 5)(x + 2 - 1) = 0 \\ \\ \sf \implies (x + 7)(x + 1) = 0$

(x + 7) =0⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀(x + 1) = 0

x = -7⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ x = -1
