Question

Plz help me solve this

Answer 1

Answer: x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's eliminate the square root

$(\sqrt{x^2-5x+2})^2=(\sqrt{x^2+17})^2\\x^2-5x+2=x^2+17$

Now subtract $x^2$ from both sides

$x^2-5x+2-x^2=x^2+17-x^2\\-5x+2=17$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$-5x+2-2=17-2\\-5x=15$

Finally divide both sides by -5

$\frac{-5x}{-5} =\frac{15}{-5} \\x=-3$

Answer 2

X=-3 is your answer

simplify the equation, cancel equal terms, move constant to the right, calculate, divide both sides !!!!
