Solve the equation for all values of x in simplest form:
(x + 1)^2 = 25

x =4, x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Square root the whole equation on both sides

2. You get x+1 = ±5 as the answer.

3. Simplify that to get x = 4 and x = -6.

4. This equation is a quadratic equation, so you should get 2 answers.

x=6,−4

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Take the square root of each side of the equation to set up the solution for x

2.Remove the perfect root factor x−1 under the radical to solve for x.

3. Simplify the right side of the equation.

4. The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

5.  You get your answer!

  x=6,−4
