Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 1)² = 9

First, take the square root of both sides. This will eliminate the square on the left side.

(x + 1) = √9

Note that √9 can be 3 or -3.

Let's write out both possibilities.

(x + 1) = 3

(x + 1) = -3

Solve.

(x + 1) = 3

[subtract 1 from both sides]

x = 2

--

(x + 1) = -3

[subtract 1 from both sides]

x = -4

Your answers are 2 and -4.

Let's check our answers by plugging in the values back into the original equation.

(x + 1)² = 9

(2 + 1)² = 9

(3)² = 9

9 = 9

That solution is correct.

(x + 1)² = 9

(-4 + 1)² = 9

(-3)² = 9

9 = 9

That solution is also correct.

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!
