Question 98223: Please check to see if I am doing this the correct way.
SOLVE AND CHECK
~(4x+4)+12=0
~(4x+4)=-12
(~(4x+4))^(2)=(-12)^(2)
(~(4(x+1)))^(2)=(-12)^(2)
(2)^(2)=(-12)^(2)
(2~(x+1))^(2)=(-12)^(2)
4(x+1)=(-12)^(2)
(4x+4)=(-12)^(2)
4x+4=(-12)^(2)
4x+4=(144)
4x+4=144
4x=140
x=35

Hold on and back the heck up: Here is how you do this problem.
(4x+4)+12=0
(4x+4)=-12. You right up to this point now pay attention
4(x+1)=-12. See what I did I made a GCF out the quantity inside the parentheses.
x+1=-3
x=-4

i am assuming that you meant the question to be
sqrt%284x%2B4%29+-12+=0
=sqrt%284%28x%2B1%29%29+-12+=0+
=+2%2A+sqrt%28x%2B1%29+=+12
=+sqrt%28x%2B1%29+=6+
=%28x%2B1%29+=36
x=35
