Solve (x + 9) 2 = 25. Apply the square root property of equality: Isolate the variable. = If x + 9 = 5, then x =. If x + 9 = - 5, then x =.

Based on the given, by using the square root property, the following equation becomes:

(x+9) ^2 = 25

extracting the roots of both sides, the equation becomes

x+9=+25, x+9=-5

If x+9 = 5, then x=-4

If x+9 = - 5, then x=-14

The answer is - 4 is the top box - 14 is the bottom box
