I am not exactly sure if this answer is correct. I ran it through my Calculator and here is what I get..
X2+4x+4=36
= x2+4x-32=0
=x2-4x+8x-32=0
=x(x2/x – 22*x/x) + 23 (23*x/23- 25/23) = 0
= x(x-4) +23 (x-4) = 0
= (x-4) (x+8) = 0
= x - 4 = 0
= x +4 = 0
X = 4
X = -8
X = 4, -8

Becky, why did you not substitute your answers back in the equation.
It would have shown you that you are way off,
but Mike's answers work and his solution is correct.
