Math Problem Statement

2(x + 2)^2 = y - 2

Solution

The equation provided in the image is:

2(x+2)2=y22(x + 2)^2 = y - 2

Let's solve for yy in terms of xx.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Start with the given equation: 2(x+2)2=y22(x + 2)^2 = y - 2

  2. Add 2 to both sides to isolate yy: 2(x+2)2+2=y2(x + 2)^2 + 2 = y

  3. The equation for yy is now: y=2(x+2)2+2y = 2(x + 2)^2 + 2

This is the solution for yy in terms of xx.
