If (2x+8)2 = 64, then I would solve it by making sure the numbers in the parentheses equal 32. This is because it would get multiplied by 2 after you find the answer and 32 x 2 is 64. So what times 2 is 24? 12. 12 x 2 is 24, plus 8 is 32, and multiply 32 by 2 and you get 64 :) I'm not the best at explaining btw ;-;
