Solving an equation

From the question, we are to solve the equation for x

The given equation is

(x+3)² -10 = 2

First, add 10 to both sides of the equation

(x+3)² -10 +10 = 2 +10

(x+3)²  = 12

Now, take the square root of both sides to get

x + 3 = ±√12

∴ x = 3 ± √12

x = 3+√12 OR 3-√12

x = 3 + 3.46 OR 3 - 3.46

x = 6.46 OR -0.46

Hence, the values of the x in the given equation are x = 6.46 and x = -0.46
