Answer:
2x^2+14x-240=0
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember Pythagoras's theorem?
a^2+b^2=c^2
So over here,
x^2+ (x+7)^2= 17^2 [ we need to now simplify (x+7)^2 --> (x+7) (x+7) ]
x^2+ x^2+7x+7x+49= 289
2x^2+ 14x+49= 289
2x^2+14x+49=0 [ we need to make the right side zero coz thats
the rule for ]
2x^2+14x-240=0
(idk, but i think the "show that x^2.....) is wrong)
