Answer:
x = -9 x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4(x+5)^2-1=3
Add 1 to each side
1/4(x+5)^2-1+1=3+1
1/4(x+5)^2=4
Multiply each side by 4
4*1/4(x+5)^2=4*4
(x+5)^2=16
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x+5)^2)=±sqrt(16)
x+5 = ±4
Subtract 5 from each side
x+5-5 = -5±4
x = -5±4
x = -5-4 x = -5+4
x = -9 x = 1
