What are the solutions of the equation (x + 2)2 – 2(x + 2) – 15 = 0? Use u substitution to solve.

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

(x + 2)2 – 2(x + 2) – 15 = 0

let : t= x+2

t²-2t-15 =0

(t-5)(t+3)=0

t-5=0  or t+3=0

t=5 or t=-3

but  : t =x+2  

if : t=5    x+2 =5   so : x=3

if : t= -3     x+2 = -3   so : x= -5

conclusion two solutions : 3  , -5

the answer is c. hope this !
