Solve for x.
Need help please

x=-11

Step-by-step explanation:

the (x+14) line is half of the (17+x) line, so in order to solve this we would have to set it up like this:

2(x+14)=17+x

distribute

2x+28=17+x

x=-11

Step-by-step explanation:

2/(17+x)=1/(x+14)

2x+28=17+x

x+28=17

x=-11

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square

13

step-by-step explanation:

169-1=168

168-3=165

165-5=160

160-7=153

153-9=144

144-11=133

133-13=120

120-15=105

105-17=88

88-19=69

69-21=48

48-23=25

25-25=0

since it took 13times to completely subtract it hence its square root is 13
