Let's solve the equation step by step.
First, let's simplify the equation. (х+2)² + 2(х+2) - 3 = 0 Simplify the terms: (х+2)(х+2) + 2(х+2) - 3 = 0 (х+2)² + 2(х+2) - 3 = 0 (х+2)(х+2) + 2х + 4 - 3 = 0 (х+2)(х+2) + 2х + 1 = 0
Next, let's apply the distributive property to simplify further: (х² + 4х + 4) + 2х + 1 = 0 х² + 4х + 4 + 2х + 1 = 0 х² + 6х + 5 = 0
Now, let's solve the quadratic equation. We can either factorize it or use the quadratic formula.
Factoring: (х + 1)(х + 5) = 0
So, either х + 1 = 0 or х + 5 = 0 If х + 1 = 0, then х = -1 If х + 5 = 0, then х = -5
Therefore, the solutions to the equation are х = -1 and х = -5.
