Solve the equation.
-$( x + 5 ) ^ { 2 } = 14$
A) $- \sqrt { 14 } , \sqrt { 14 }$
B) $- 5 - \sqrt { 14 } , - 5 + \sqrt { 14 }$
C) 9
D) $5 - \sqrt { 14 } , 5 + \sqrt { 14 }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve the equation $(x + 5)^2 = 14$, take the square root of both sides to get $x + 5 = \pm\sqrt{14}$. Then, subtract 5 from both sides to isolate x, resulting in $x = -5 \pm \sqrt{14}$.

Solve the Equation (x+5)2=14( x + 5 ) ^ { 2 } = 14(x+5)2=14

Solve the Equation $( x + 5 ) ^ { 2 } = 14$
