    Im gonna assume you are solving for x, the equation (x + 3) 2 = 49 x is equal to 21.5 or 21 and 1/2. however the rest aren't equations they're just x = number and there isn't much to do with that

    x = 4 and x = - 10

    Step-by-step explanation:

    expand the squared brackets

    (x + 3) (x+3) = 49

    Distribute them

    x^2 + 3x + 3x + 9 = 49

    bring the 49 to the other side to make one side 0, make sure to change signs

    x^2 + 3x + 3x + 9 - 49 = 0

    combine like terms

    x^2 + 6x - 40 = 0

    factor what numbers multiply to get - 40 that also add/subtract to get + 6

    (x - 4) (x + 10)

    turn it into an equation to get the answer to x

    x - 4 = 0 x + 10 = 0

    x = 4 x = - 10
