To solve for x, you must use the square root and remember to split the answers into 2:
 

\((x+3)^2=7\)Take the square root of both sides
\(x+3=\sqrt{7}\)However, remember that the absolute value equation splits your answer into the negative and positive answer
\(x+3=\pm\sqrt{7}\)Subtract 3 on both sides
\(x=\pm\sqrt{7}-3\) 
\(x\approx-0.35425\hspace{1mm}\text{and}\hspace{1mm}x\approx-5.64575\)Here are your answers rounded, but you want to keep your answer as it is above because that is the exact value.
