Question 196185
Solve for x:
{{{(2x+5)^2 = 49}}} Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
{{{(2x+5) = 7}}} or {{{(2x+5) = -7}}} Subtract 5 from both sides of each equation.
{{{2x = 2}}} or {{{2x = -12}}} Divide both sides of each equation by 2.
{{{highlight(x = 1)}}} or {{{highlight(x = -6)}}}
