To solve the equation \( x^{2}+2x=15 \) by completing the square, we first move the constant term to the other side: \[ x^{2}+2x-15=0 \] Next, we complete the square for the expression on the left. Take half of the coefficient of \( x \) (which is 2), square it, and add it to both sides: 1. Half of 2 is 1, and \( 1^2 = 1 \). 2. Add 1 to both sides: \[ x^{2}+2x+1=15+1 \] Now we have: \[ (x+1)^2=16 \] Taking the square root of both sides gives us: \[ x+1=\pm 4 \] Now, solve for \( x \): 1. \( x+1=4 \) leads to \( x=3 \) 2. \( x+1=-4 \) leads to \( x=-5 \) Thus, the solution set is: A. The solution set is \( \left\{3, -5\right\} \)
