    The value of x are - 11 and - 1.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The quadratic equation is:

    2 (x + 6) ² - 5 = 45

    Compute the value of x as follows:

    2 (x + 6) ² - 5 = 45

    2 (x + 6) ² = 50

    (x + 6) ² = 25

    x² + 12x + 36 = 25

    x² + 12x + 11 = 0

    x² + 11x + x + 11 = 0

    x (x + 11) + 1 (x + 11) = 0

    (x + 11) (x + 1) = 0

    If (x + 11) = 0, then x = - 11.

    If (x + 1) = 0, then x = - 1.

    Thus, the value of x are - 11 and - 1.
