<span>Simplifying
 x2 + 2x + 1 = 17
 Reorder the terms
1 + 2x + x2 = 17
 Solving
1 + 2x + x2 = 17
 Solving for variable 'x'.
Reorder the terms:
1 + -17 + 2x + x2 = 17 + -17
  Combine like terms:
 1 + -17 = -16 -16 + 2x + x2 = 17 + -17 C
ombine like terms:
 17 + -17 = 0 -16 + 2x + x2 = 0
  Begin completing the square.
 Move the constant term to the right:
  Add '16' to each side of the equation
. -16 + 2x + 16 + x2 = 0 + 16
 Reorder the terms:
 -16 + 16 + 2x + x2 = 0 + 16
 Combine like terms:
 -16 + 16 = 0 0 + 2x + x2 = 0 + 16 2x + x2 = 0 + 16
 Combine like terms:
 0 + 16 = 16 2x + x2 = 16
  The x term is 2x. Take half its coefficient (1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides. Add '1' to each side of the equation.
2x + 1 + x2 = 16 + 1
  Reorder the terms:
 1 + 2x + x2 = 16 + 1
 Combine like terms:
 16 + 1 = 17 1 + 2x + x2 = 17
  Factor a perfect square on the left side:
 (x + 1)(x + 1) = 17
  Calculate the square root of the right side:
 4.123105626
 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting
  (x + 1) equal to 4.123105626 and -4.123105626. </span><span>x + 1 = 4.123105626
 Simplifying
x + 1 = 4.123105626
 Reorder the terms:
1 + x = 4.123105626
  Solving
 1 + x = 4.123105626
  Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + x = 4.123105626 + -1
  Combine like terms:
 1 + -1 = 0 0 + x = 4.123105626 + -1 x = 4.123105626 + -1
  Combine like terms:
 4.123105626 + -1 = 3.123105626 x = 3.123105626
  Simplifying
 x = 3.123105626
</span><span>x + 1 = -4.123105626
 Simplifying
x + 1 = -4.123105626
 Reorder the terms:
1 + x = -4.123105626
 Solving
 1 + x = -4.123105626
 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
 1 + -1 + x = -4.123105626 + -1
  Combine like terms:
 1 + -1 = 0 0 + x = -4.123105626 + -1 x = -4.123105626 + -1
  Combine like terms:
 -4.123105626 + -1 = -5.123105626 x = -5.123105626
 Simplifying x = -5.123105626
</span><span>x = {3.123105626, -5.123105626}</span>

If you meant 2x + 2x + 1 = 17: x = 4
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.<span> 
</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>

Harrizon [31]

Your 71,1482 doesn't make sense. But regardless,

let x = the other car's cost.

You know the total spent and the cost of one car. So logically, if you subtract the two you'd get the price of the second car.

You can do $38,295 + c = $71,1482.

Or $71,1482 - $38,295 = c.

Sati [7]
The ratio of length to width would change slightly, before adding on to the dimensions, the ratio is 6 : 2.5    with the added dimensions, the ratio would change to 8 : 4.5    with simple math you can see that 2.5 is less then half of 6 while 4.5 is more then half of 8
