What is the value of x?
Let's solve the equation, first we'll simplify the algebraic expressions using the perfect square binomial formula:
We will then apply the mentioned formula and expand the parentheses in the expression in the equation:
We'll continue and combine like terms, by moving terms between sides. Then we can notice that the squared term cancels out, therefore it's a first-degree equation, which we'll solve by isolating the variable term on one side and dividing both sides of the equation by its coefficient:
Therefore, the correct answer is answer B.
