Step-by-step explanation:
It seems here that they are asking us to solve for x
to do this we first need to factor
Since we can't factor this using the normal method we can instead do this
x^2 -4x-17=0
add 4 to both sides as it is a perfect square
x^2 - 4x + 4 = 17 +4
(x-2)^2 = sqrt 21
x-2 = ± 4.58
x -2 = 4.58 x-2 = -4.58
x= 6.58 x=-2.58
Or just say x=2+√21 or x=2−√21
Answer:
Read the excerpt from "Digging"The cold smell of potato mould, the squelch and slapOf soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edgeThrough living roots awaken in my head.But I’ve no spade to follow men like them.Between my finger and my thumbThe squat pen rests.I’ll dig with it.Read the haiku by Bashō. When the winter chrysanthemums go,there’s nothing to write about but radishes.What common concern do these poems share?

Absolute value is when you have either a positive or negative value within a set of "parentheses" or what look just like vertical lines and whatever is within those line stays or becomes positive. The only exception to this is when there is a negative on the outside to act upon the positive values within.
Answer: Triangle: x = 40 Line: x = 10
Explanation:
All angles of a triangle adds up to 180. So x + 50 + 90 (the square box represents a 90° angle) = 180
Simplify: x + 140 = 180
So x = 40°
A straight line is 180°
so 7x+110=180
7x= 70
x=10
