Answer (2)

5 = x 2 + 2 x x 2 + 2 x − 5 = 0 x 2 + 2 x + 1 − 6 = 0 ( x + 1 ) 2 = 6 x + 1 = 6 ​ ∨ x + 1 = − 6 ​ x = − 1 + 6 ​ ∨ x = − 1 − 6 ​

The solutions to the equation 5 = x 2 + 2 x are x = − 1 + 6 ​ and x = − 1 − 6 ​ , both of which are real numbers. There are no imaginary roots since the discriminant is positive. Thus, the equation has two distinct real solutions.
