The given equation is a quadratic equation in standard form. Using the quadratic formula, $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$, where $a = 1$, $b = 12$, and $c = 17$, we find the solutions to be $x = -1.64$ and $x = -10.36$, rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Solve the Equation x=−1.65,x=−10.35x = - 1.65 , x = - 10.35x=−1.65,x=−10.35

Solve the Equation $x = - 1.65 , x = - 10.35$
