<u>Answer:</u>

one solution = 3

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5x+17=4(3x−1)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x+17=4(3x−1)

5x+17=(4)(3x)+(4)(−1)(Distribute)

5x+17=12x+−4

5x+17=12x−4

Step 2: Subtract 12x from both sides.

5x+17−12x=12x−4−12x

−7x+17=−4

Step 3: Subtract 17 from both sides.

−7x+17−17=−4−17

−7x=−21

Step 4: Divide both sides by -7

-7x/-7 = -21/-7 = 3

Divide both sides by -3, and replace x^2 with y. Then

-3x^4+27x^2+1200=0\iff y^2-9y-400=0

Factorize the quadratic in y to get

y^2-9y-400=(y+16)(y-25)=0\implies y=-16,y=25

which in turn means

x^2=-16,x^2=25

But x^2\ge0 for all real x, so we can ignore the first solution. This leaves us with

x^2=25\implies x=\pm\sqrt{25}=\pm5

If we allow for any complex solution, then we can continue with the solution we ignored:

x^2=-16\implies x=\pm\sqrt{-16}=\pm i\sqrt{16}=\pm4i
