<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>

What should you do first in order to reconcile your checkbook register?
Anarel [89]
First, you need to have your bank statement and your check register.

Then, compare all your deposits from your checkbook register to your bank statement credits to determine the amount of deposit not yet credited by the bank, which is called your Deposit in Transit.

Next, compare all your disbursements from your checkbook register to all the debits in your bank statement to determine the amount of disbursements not yet debited by the bank.

Also, you need to check for any bank charges already debited to your bank account but not yet recorded.

Complete the table of inputs for the given function.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

a. x = \frac{3}{8}

b. g(0) = 3

c. x = 1

d. g(3) = -21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

g(x) = 3 - 8x

Solving (a): When g(x) = 0

Substitute 0 for g(x)

g(x) = 3 - 8x

0 = 3 - 8x

Solve for 8x

8x = 3

Solve for x

x = \frac{3}{8}

Solving (b): when x = 0

Substitute 0 for x

g(x) = 3 - 8x

g(0) = 3 - 8 * 0

g(0) = 3 - 0

g(0) = 3

Solving (c): When g(x) = -5

Substitute -5 for g(x)

g(x) = 3 - 8x

-5 = 3 - 8x

Solve for 8x

8x = 3 + 5

8x = 8

Solve for x

x = \frac{8}{8}

x = 1

Solving (d): When x = 3

Substitute 3 for x

g(x) = 3 - 8x

g(3) = 3 - 8 * 3

g(3) = 3 - 24

g(3) = -21
