Set (x+7)^2 - 12 = 0 then rearrange for x

Spoiler alert

  1. ||(x+7)^2 - 12 = 0 | Set it equal to 0||
  2. ||(x+7)^2 = 12 | Add 12 on both sides||
  3. ||(x+7) = root(12) | Square root both sides||
  4. ||x = root(12) - 7 | Subtract 7 from both sides||
  5. ||x = +-root(12) - 7 | When square rooting you get a positive and negative value||
