Answer: (x-5)²=8

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-10x+17=0

x²-2(x)(5)+5²-5²+17=0

(x²-2(x)(5)+5²)-25+17=0

(x-5)²-8=0

(x-5)²-8+8=0+8

(x-5)²=8

Answer:

(x - 5)² = 8

--------------------------

Given

Expression  x² - 10x +17.

Convert this to vertex form by completing the square.

Recall identity (a ± b)² = a² ± 2ab + b² and apply as given below:

x² - 10x + 17  =

x² - 2*5*x + 5² - 5² + 17  =

(x - 5)² - 25 + 17 = (x - 5)² - 8

(x - 5)² = 8

The scale is evenly balanced. Explain how to find the weight (w) of one turtle. 
Tomtit [17]

Answer: 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up as an equation with a variable for turtles. Count up the other side of the scale (without turtles). Add up the three 1s and the 4 to get 7. Then add up all four 7s. This will get you with an equation 3t+4=28.

To solve this, first subtract 4 from both sides to get 3t=24. Now divide both sides by 3. 24/3=8. Each turtle weighs 8 units.
