For this case we have the following expression:
For simplicity we follow the steps:
We apply distributive property to the terms within the parenthesis, bearing in mind that:
We add similar terms taking into account that equal signs are added and the same sign is placed, while different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 4
f(x + a) = (x + a)^2 + 4(x + a) + 4
f(x + a) = x^2 + 2ax + a^2 + 4x + 4a + 4 Now combine like terms and use the distributive property.
f(x + a) = x^2 + (2a + 4)x + a^2 + 4a + 4
We are told that f(x + a) = x^2 - 6x + 9
So that means that
2a + 4 = - 6 Subtract 4 from both sides.
2a = - 6 - 4
2a = - 10 Divide by 2
a = - 10/2
a = - 5.
But you are not finished. You have to check the last part.
a^2 + 4x + 4 = 9
(a + 2)^2 = 9
Take the square root of both sides
sqrt(a+ 2)^2 = +/- 3
a+2 = 3
a = 1.
Does this work or is it extraneous? It is extraneous because it will not work for 2(a) + 4 = - 6
You get 6 = - 6 which is not correct. But you did give the second best answer.
a + 2 = - 3
a = - 3 - 2
a = - 5 which agrees with your previous answer.

This is an extremely hard or tricky or sneaky problem. It takes a lot of conniving to get the right answer and 1 is not a left field answer. It just does not happen to be correct.
