Solve the following quadratic equation using square roots: (x+3)^2=36

.

1 answer

To solve the equation (x+3)^2 = 36, you need to find the value of x that makes the equation true.

First, take the square root of both sides of the equation:
(x+3)^2 = 36
Taking the square root of both sides gives you:
x+3 = ±√36

Next, simplify the square root of 36:
x+3 = ±6

Now, solve for x by subtracting 3 from both sides:
x = -3 ±6

This gives you two possible solutions for x:
x = -3 + 6 = 3
x = -3 - 6 = -9

Therefore, the solutions to the equation (x+3)^2 = 36 are x = 3 and x = -9.
