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

There would be 12 people at the party!
In general, with n+1 people, the number of handshakes is the sum of the first n consecutive numbers: 1+2+3+ ... + n.
Since this sum is n(n+1)/2, we need to solve the equation n(n+1)/2 = 66.
This is the quadratic equation n2+ n -132 = 0. Solving for n, we obtain 11 as the answer and deduce that there were 12 people at the party.
Since 66 is a relatively small number, you can also solve this problem with a hand calculator. Add 1 + 2 = + 3 = +... etc. until the total is 66. The last number that you entered (11) is n.
Hope this helps!
