Let's solve the equation
\[
-9 + \frac{(x - 3)^2}{-4} = -4.
\]
-
First, isolate the term with \( (x - 3)^2 \):
\[
-9 + \frac{(x - 3)^2}{-4} = -4
\]
Add 9 to both sides:
\[
\frac{(x - 3)^2}{-4} = 5
\]
-
Multiply both sides by -4 to remove the fraction:
\[
(x - 3)^2 = -20
\]
-
Since \( (x - 3)^2 = -20 \) has no real solutions (a square cannot be negative in real numbers), let's see if we can simplify our work:
-
Let's rewrite that:
\[
(x - 3)^2 = 20i^2 \quad \text{(where } i = \sqrt{-1}\text{)}
\]
-
Taking the square root gives us:
\[
x - 3 = \pm \sqrt{20}i
\]
This further simplifies to:
\[
x - 3 = \pm 2\sqrt{5}i
\]
-
Thus, the complex solutions are:
\[
x = 3 \pm 2\sqrt{5}i
\]
Since the equation has no real solutions, the potential responses you provided (which suggest real outputs) cannot apply here.
However, it appears there was a misunderstanding in how to rework the equation in earlier messages. Let's double-check if the intent was to look for real solutions from already provided options or some other misunderstanding might have occurred.
Since none of the responses {16, -10}, {-2, 8}, {28, -22} represent valid real solutions, the equation \( -9 + \frac{(x - 3)^2}{-4} = -4 \) actually doesn't yield real solutions. If you're facing template options or misunderstandings based on incorrect values formulated, lets recheck the question context.
Final Answer
In conclusion, the provided options seem misaligned with the equation's resolution. The equation yields complex solutions, and none of the answers match itβno real solutions are valid.
