Answer:

1. (x +1)² = 4
2. (D)  x = -1 ±2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by getting the x-terms on one side of the equal sign. We can do that by subtracting x from both sides.

  3 = x² +2x

Now, add the square of half the x-coefficient.

  3 +1 = x² +2x +1

  (x +1)² = 4 . . . . . . . . write as a square in the desired form

To solve, take the square root, and add the opposite of the left-side constant.

  x +1 = ±2

  x = -1 ±2 . . . . . . matches choice (D)
