We are given the following equation:

Subtract both sides by 17

Take the positive/negative square root of both sides

This should be your answer. Let me know if you have any questions, thanks!
Let i = sqrt(-1) which is the conventional notation to set up an imaginary number
The idea is to break up the radicand, aka stuff under the square root, to simplify
sqrt(-8) = sqrt(-1*4*2)
sqrt(-8) = sqrt(-1)*sqrt(4)*sqrt(2)
sqrt(-8) = i*2*sqrt(2)
sqrt(-8) = 2i*sqrt(2)
