Find the value or values of y in the quadratic equation y2 + 4y + 4 = 7.

If we move 7 to one side, we have (y^2 + 4y -3) = 0. From this form, we can apply the quadrati formula to solve for the values of y. To recall, quadratic formula is [ -b ±√ (b² - 4ac) ]/2a. For our equation, we have a =1, b = 4, and c = -3. If we plug this in, we have y to have approximate values of -2 - sqrt(7) and -2 + sqrt(7).

If you need an equation, it would be y=2x+8, y would be how long it grew, x being weeks.if you need how long he was asleep, it would be 4 weeks if he started with no beard, the equation would be x=8÷2if he did have a beard before hand, the equation would be 2w+x=8
