Answer 1

Answer:

x = 0 or x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

17=x2+8x+17

Step 2: Subtract x^2+8x+17 from both sides.

17−(x2+8x+17)=x2+8x+17−(x2+8x+17)

−x2−8x=0

Step 3: Factor left side of the equation.

(−x)(x+8)=0

Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.

−x=0 or x+8=0

x=0 or x=−8
