Let's solve the equation $(x + 2)^2 = 0$.

Step 1: Take the square root of both sides

To solve for $x$, we first take the square root of both sides of the equation: $\sqrt{(x + 2)^2} = \sqrt{0}$

Since the square root of 0 is 0, we have: $x + 2 = 0$

Step 2: Solve for $x$

Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate $x$: $x = -2$

Final Solution
