Answer:

x = 1±2i

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 1)^2 = -4.

Take the square root of each side

sqrt( (x - 1)^2) = sqrt(-4)

Sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a)sqrt(b)

We know the sqrt(4) = 2 and the sqrt(-1) = ±i

x-1 = ±2i

Add 1 to each side

x-1+1 = 1±2i

x = 1±2i

Flauer [41]

2(x + y) + 3(x + y)

first distribute:
(multiply 2 into everything in the first parenthesis, and 3 into everything in the second)
2x + 2y + 3x + 3y
Second simplify (add all like terms (adding in this case) )
(2x + 3x) + (2y +3y)
5x + 5y

your answer is: 5x + 5y

hope this helps
