--------------------------------------------------------
Equation Given
--------------------------------------------------------
x² + 2x = 17

--------------------------------------------------------
Add the constant to make it perfect square
--------------------------------------------------------
x² + 2x + (2/2)² - ²(2/2)² = 17

--------------------------------------------------------
Evaluate the brackets
--------------------------------------------------------
x² + 2x + (1)² - ²(1)² = 17

--------------------------------------------------------
Form the perfect square
--------------------------------------------------------
(x + 1)² - 1 = 17

--------------------------------------------------------
Add 1 to both sides
--------------------------------------------------------
(x + 1)² = 17 + 1
(x + 1)² = 18

--------------------------------------------------------
Square root both sides
--------------------------------------------------------
√(x + 1)² = \pm√18

--------------------------------------------------------
Solve for x
--------------------------------------------------------
x = 4.24 - 1 or - 4.24 -1

x = 3.24 or - 5.24 (nearest hundredth)

--------------------------------------------------------
Answer: x = x = 3.24 or - 5.24

KM bisects on <NKL so m<MKN = m<MKL = 3x + 5

2(m<MKL) + m<JKN = 180
2(3x+5) + 8x + 2 = 180
6x + 10 + 8x + 2 = 180
14x + 12 = 180
14x = 168
    x = 12

so 
 m<MKN = m<MKL = 3x + 5 = 3(12) + 5 = 36 + 5 = 41

answer
b. 41

7)

2 supplementary has sum = 180
x + x + 14 = 180
2x + 14 = 180
2x = 166
  x = 83
  x + 14 = 83 + 14 = 97

2 angles are 83 and 97

answer
b. 83, 97
