Answer:

solve for x

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

x2-20x-17=-53

reorder like terms x2= 2x 2x=20x-17=-53

collect like terms 2x-20x=-18x -18x-17=-53

move constant to the right hand side and change its sign -18x=-53+17

calculate the sum -53+17= -36 -18x=-36

divide both sides by -18 -18x÷-18= x -36÷-18=2

x=2
