I assume the square root term encloses the entire left hand side??
sqrt%28x%5E2%2B9x%2B14%29=x%2B4
x%5E2%2B9x%2B14=%28x%2B4%29%5E2
x%5E2%2B9x%2B14=x%5E2%2B8x%2B16

Verify the solution.
sqrt%28x%5E2%2B9x%2B14%29=x%2B4
sqrt%282%5E2%2B9%282%29%2B14%29=2%2B4
sqrt%284%2B18%2B14%29=6
sqrt%2836%29=6
6=6
True, it's a good solution.
