Solve m^2-17m38=0

$$m ^ { 2 } - 17 m 38 = 0$$

Solve for m_38

$$m_{38}=\frac{m^{2}}{17}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract m^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-17m_{38}=-m^{2}$$

Divide both sides by -17.

$$\frac{-17m_{38}}{-17}=-\frac{m^{2}}{-17}$$

Dividing by -17 undoes the multiplication by -17.

$$m_{38}=-\frac{m^{2}}{-17}$$

Divide -m^{2} by -17.

$$m_{38}=\frac{m^{2}}{17}$$

Solve for m (complex solution)

$$m=-\sqrt{17m_{38}}$$

$$m=\sqrt{17m_{38}}$$

Solve for m

$$m=\sqrt{17m_{38}}$$

$$m=-\sqrt{17m_{38}}\text{, }m_{38}\geq 0$$
