Answer:

first, subtract 17 on both sides: x²+2x-16=0

this cannot be factored, so use the quadratic formula to solve for x:

b²-4ac=2²-4(10(-16)=4+64=68

√68=2√17

so x=(-2+2√17)/2 or x=(-2-2√17)/2

x=-1+√17 or x=-1-√17

Beth and joe won first place at the local talent show and shared the 50$ price equally they also gave some money to their friend

If they each kept the same amount of the $50 prize, then we divide $50 by 2 people, giving each of them $25 winnings. Your question is then a little confusing because it could be answered in two ways. Did they each keep $20.75 out of their $25 winnings, or did the two of them keep $20.75 in a combined total? Please read your question again to see which might be the case. I'm answering on the assumption that they each kept $20.75.

STEP 1:
divide total prize money by 2

= $50 ÷ 2
= $25 each won

STEP 2:
If they each kept $20.75

= $25 won - $20.75 each kept
= $4.25 each gave away

STEP 3:
multiply amount given away by 2 people
= $4.25 * 2 people
= $8.50 total given away

ANSWER: The total given to Romy is $8.50.

Hope this helps! :)
