Question

Solve: (x + 3)2 - 3 = 49

Answer 1

Answer: x=23

Explanation:

• (x+3)2-3=49. The 2 will multiply the bracket, thus 2 will multiply everything inside the bracket.

• It then becomes, 2x+6-3=49.
• 2x+(6-3) =49
• 2x+3=49
• 2x=49-3 (since we have to make x stand on its own)
• 2x=46
• Now 2 will divide both sides. 2 divides 2x leaving only x. 2 divides 46, 23 times. So, in solving, this is how it appears,
  `(2x)/(2)=(46)/(2)` which becomes x=23. The answer is x=23

Answer 2

The answer to this question as solved is 23
Firstly multiply 2 with brackets and then solve other operations from left to right
