Answer:
A. (x + 2)^2 = 31.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 4x = 27
x^2 + 4x - 27 = 0
A. (x + 2)^2 = 31
x^2 + 4x + 4 - 31 = 0
x^2 + 4x - 27 = 0
This option corresponds to the given equation, so it is correct.
B. (x + 2)^2 = 43
x^2 + 4x + 4 - 43 = 0
x^2 + 4x - 39 = 0
This does not correspond to the equation.
C. (x + 4)^2 = 31
x^2 + 8x + 16 - 31 = 0
x^2 + 8x - 15 = 0
This does not correspond to the equation.
D. (x+4)^2 = 43
x^2 + 8x + 16 - 43 = 0
x^2 + 8x - 27 = 0
This does not correspond to the equation.
So, your answer is A. (x + 2)^2 = 31.
