Question

Create a list of steps, in order, that will solve the following equation.
2(x+2)^2-5=93
Solution steps:

Answer 1

1. Add 5 to both sides: 2(x+2)^2 = 98
2. Divide both sides by 2: (x+2)^2 = 49
3. Take square roots: x + 2 = ±7
4. Solve each case: x + 2 = 7 → x = 5; x + 2 = -7 → x = -9
5. (Check) Substitute back if desired: both x = 5 and x = -9 satisfy the original equation.
