\left(x^{2}+5\right)\times 17=34\times 25
Multiply both sides by 25.
17x^{2}+85=34\times 25
Use the distributive property to multiply x^{2}+5 by 17.
17x^{2}+85=850
Multiply 34 and 25 to get 850.
17x^{2}=850-85
Subtract 85 from both sides.
17x^{2}=765
Subtract 85 from 850 to get 765.
x^{2}=\frac{765}{17}
Divide both sides by 17.
x^{2}=45
Divide 765 by 17 to get 45.
x=3\sqrt{5} x=-3\sqrt{5}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
\left(x^{2}+5\right)\times 17=34\times 25
Multiply both sides by 25.
17x^{2}+85=34\times 25
Use the distributive property to multiply x^{2}+5 by 17.
17x^{2}+85=850
Multiply 34 and 25 to get 850.
17x^{2}+85-850=0
Subtract 850 from both sides.
17x^{2}-765=0
Subtract 850 from 85 to get -765.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 17\left(-765\right)}}{2\times 17}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 17 for a, 0 for b, and -765 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 17\left(-765\right)}}{2\times 17}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-68\left(-765\right)}}{2\times 17}
Multiply -4 times 17.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{52020}}{2\times 17}
Multiply -68 times -765.
x=\frac{0±102\sqrt{5}}{2\times 17}
Take the square root of 52020.
x=\frac{0±102\sqrt{5}}{34}
Multiply 2 times 17.
x=3\sqrt{5}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±102\sqrt{5}}{34} when ± is plus.
x=-3\sqrt{5}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±102\sqrt{5}}{34} when ± is minus.
x=3\sqrt{5} x=-3\sqrt{5}
The equation is now solved.
