Question 103818
{{{(x + 6)^2 = 4 }}} Start with the given equation



{{{x + 6 = 0+-sqrt(4) }}} Take the square root of both sides



{{{x  = -6+-sqrt(4) }}} Subtract 6 from both sides



So our equation breaks down to 


{{{x = -6+sqrt(4) }}} or {{{x = -6-sqrt(4) }}} 



{{{x = -6+2 }}} or {{{x = -6-2 }}} Take the square root of 4



{{{x = -4 }}} or {{{x = -8 }}} Combine like terms



So our answer is {{{x = -4 }}} or {{{x = -8 }}}
