(x+2)(x+2)=21

Solution for (x+2)(x+2)=21 equation:

(x+2)(x+2)=21

We move all terms to the left:

(x+2)(x+2)-(21)=0

We multiply parentheses ..

(+x^2+2x+2x+4)-21=0

We get rid of parentheses

x^2+2x+2x+4-21=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2+4x-17=0

a = 1; b = 4; c = -17;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 42-4·1·(-17)
Δ = 84
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{84}=\sqrt{4*21}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{21}=2\sqrt{21}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)-2\sqrt{21}}{2*1}=\frac{-4-2\sqrt{21}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)+2\sqrt{21}}{2*1}=\frac{-4+2\sqrt{21}}{2}
