I thought i know but i don’t sorry
If you meant 2x + 2x + 1 = 17: x = 4
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.<span>

If you meant <span>x2 + 2x + 1 = 17:</span> <span>x ≈ 3.1231056,−5.1231056x</span>
Solve the equation for x by finding a, b, and c of the quadratic then applying the quadratic formula. <span><span>x = −1 ± <span>√17</span></span>x</span>
Answer: The time taken by both of them if they work together is given by

Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Time taken by Blake to paint one room = 9 hours
Time taken by Ned to paint one room = 6 hours
Work done by Blake = 
Work done by Ned = 
Total work done by both of them together is given by

So, the time taken by both of them if they work together is given by
