Question

What are the steps to this equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Add 1 to both sides

2. Multiply both sides by 4

3. Take the square root of both sides

4. Subtract 5 from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{4} (x+5)^{2} -1=3$

Add 1 to both sides

$\frac{1}{4} (x+5)^{2}=4$

Multiply both sides by 4

$(x+5)^{2}=16$

Square root both sides

$x+5=4$

Subtract 5 from both sides

$x=-1$
