First we need to factor the left side. Since it is a perfect square (as is the process with completing the square, we know we can take half of the middle number along with x to be in the two parenthesis.
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 25
Now we simplify to show it as a square.
(x - 4)^2 = 25
Next we take the square root of both sides
x - 4 = +/- 5
Note that we have plus or minus 5. This is because either square would give us positive 25. Now we add 4 to both sides
x = 4 +/- 5
4 + 5 = 9
4 - 5 = -1

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given equation</u>
<u>Answer choices</u>
A. The equation represents a proportional relationship.
- TRUE, it is in the form of y = kx
B. The unit rate of change of y with respect to x is 8.5
- TRUE, y = mx + b, the slope m = 8.5 is the rate of change
C. The slope of the line is 2/17
D. A change of 17 units in x results in a change of 2 units in y.
- False, a change of x = 17 results in 17*8.5 = 144.5 units in y
E. A change of 4 units in x results in a change of 34 units in y.
