Create a list of steps, in order, that will solve the following equation.1/2(x+5)^2+2=42.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  Eliminate fractions by multiplying all terms by 2:

    1/2(x+5)^2+2=42.5 = > (x + 5)^2 + 4 = 85

2.  Subtract 4 from both sides  =>  (x + 5)^2 = 81

3.  Take the square root of both sides, remembering to use the " ± " sign on the right side:                               x + 5 = ±√81  =  ± 9

4.  Write out the solutions.  The first stems from x + 5 + 9 and is x = 4.  The second stems from x + 5 = -9 and is x = -14.  x:  {-14, 4}
