Solve for x in the equation x² + 14x + 17 = - 96

Solutions of x are;

x = -7 + 8i and x = -7 -8i

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

Add 96 both sides we get;

Using quadratic formula then the solution is given by:

On comparing we have;

a= 1,  b =14 and c =113

or

Simplify:

;  where i is the imaginary,

or

Therefore,  the solution of x are;  x = -7 + 8i and x = -7 -8i

72 is the answer to this problem
