First, we can rewrite the equation as:
(x + 1)² = 64
To solve for x, we can take the square root of both sides of the equation:
√((x + 1)²) = √64
Simplifying both sides of the equation, we get:
x + 1 = ±8
Now, we can solve for x by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation:
x = -1 ± 8
Thus, the solutions for x are:
x = -1 + 8 = 7
x = -1 - 8 = -9
(x + 1)² = 64
To solve for x, we can take the square root of both sides of the equation:
√((x + 1)²) = √64
Simplifying both sides of the equation, we get:
x + 1 = ±8
Now, we can solve for x by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation:

Thus, the solutions for x are:
x = -1 + 8 = 7
x = -1 - 8 = -9
