We are asked to determine the two roots of the given expression (x+9)² = 25. We already have given the simplified and final answer such that we only need to perform transposition of +9 to the left side and perform either subtraction or addition. The solution is shown below: If x+9 = 5 , transpose +9 to the left side and perform subtraction x = 5 - 9 x = -4 so the first root is -4 If x+9 = -5 , transpose +9 to the left side and perform subtraction x = -5 - 9 x = -14 so the second root is - 14
