You can put this solution on YOUR website!

do you have this:
2%5E%28-x%29+%2B1%5E%28x%2B2%29=5
if yes, then
2%5E%28-x%29+%2B1%5E%28x%2B2%29=5.....1%5E%28x%2B2%29=1 for any value of x
2%5E%28-x%29+%2B1=5
2%5E%28-x%29+=5-1
2%5E%28-x%29+=4
2%5E%28-x%29+=2%5E2-> if base same, exponents are same too
-x+=2
x+=-2-> solution

check:
2%5E%28-%28-2%29%29+%2B1%5E%28-2%2B2%29=5
2%5E2+%2B1%5E0=5
4+%2B1=5
5=5

if you have something else, describe it or post picture
