Answer:

  x = -2, x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator solves this nicely, as shown in the attachment.

  x = -2, x = -1

__

The given equation resolves to two equations.

<u>x+3 < 0</u>

  -(x +3) -1 = (x +2)^2

  x^2 +5x +7 = 0

Checking the discriminant, we find ...

  b^2 -4ac = (5)^2 -4(1)(7) = 25 -28 = -3

There are only complex solutions to this equation.

__

<u>x+3 ≥ 0</u>

  x +3 -1 = (x +2)^2

  (x +2)^2 -(x +2) = 0 . . . .subtract x+2

  (x +2)(x +2 -1) = 0 . . . . . factor

Solutions are values of x that make these factors zero.

  x +2 = 0   ⇒   x = -2

  x +1 = 0   ⇒   x = -1

<em>Domain Check</em>

  x +3 = -2 +3 = 1 > 0 . . . . as required.

Guys please which one is the right answer
kirza4 [7]

Answer: I think the answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

8(x-4) = 8(1-4) = 8-32

2(4x-16) =2(4*1-16) = 8-32

8(x-4) = 8(2-4) = 16-32

2(4x-16) = 2(4*2-16) = 16-32
