Answer:
(8 * x) + 2x = 60
8x + 2x = 60
10x = 60
/10 /10
x = 6
8 is a constant that is being multiplied by an unknown number which we will name x. It is then being added to two times the unknown number(x), so we multiply x by 2, which is 2x. The final product will be 60, so in the equation it'll then equal 60.
We consider "a number" to be a variable that withholds an unknown value, which is x (or any other variable you prefer).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Y = x^2 - 16x + 17
-16/2 = (-8)
(-8)^2 = 64
Add 64 and subtract 64
y = x^2 - 16x + 64 + 17 - 64
y = (x - 8)^2 - 47
