+130516 2(X+3)^2 = -4X simplify on the left side
2[x^2 + 6x + 9) = -4x divide both sides by 2
(x ^2 + 6x + 9) = -2x add 2x to both sides
x^2 + 8x + 9 = 0 this won't factor
Using the quadratic formula, the solutions are x = (plus/minus)sqrt(7) - 4
Or...in approximate form...... about -1.354 and -6.646
