Question

What's the answer to 1/2(x+4)^2-5+=3.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation you would need to get x by itself on one side

1/2 (x+4)^2 - 5 = 3

1.) add 5 to both sides

1/2 (x+4)^2 = 8

2.) divide each side by 1/2

(x+4)^2 = 16

3.) find the square root of both sides

(x+4) = 4

4.) subtract 4 from both sides

x = 0
