## Introductory Algebra for College Students (7th Edition)

The coefficient of x is 4. Adding the square of half the coefficient of x creates a perfect square. $(4\div2)^2=2^2=4$ $x^2+4x=5$ Add the square of half the coefficient of x to each side of the equation. $x^2+4x+4=5+4$ Simplify. $x^2+4x+4=9$ Factor the polynomial. $(x+2)^2=9$ Take the square root of each side. $\sqrt{(x+2)^2}=\sqrt 9$ Simplify. $x+2=3$ Subtract 2 from each side. $x+2-2=3-2$ Simplify. $x=1$
