    Step-by-step explanation:

    17. 5x² - 17x+6 = 0

    the coefficient of 5x² is 5, we multiply it by 6 which is 30

    then we look for two numbers we can multiply together to give + 30 and add together to give - 17x

    the possible number is - 15, - 2

    5x² - 17x+6 = 0

    (5x² - 15x) - (2x+6) = 0

    5x (x-3) - 2 (x-3) = 0

    (5x-2) (x-3) = 0

    5x-2 = 0 x-3 = 0

    5x = 2 x = 3

    x=2/5

    x = 2/5, 3

    18. 3x²+10x+8

    3x²+6x+4x+8

    3x (x+2) + 4 (x+2)

    (3x+4) (x+2) = 0

    3x+4 = 0 x+2 = 0

    3x = - 4 x=-2

    x=-4/3, - 2

    x = - 4/3, - 2

    19. 2b² - 9b - 5

    (2b² + 1b) - (10b - 5)

    b (2b+1) - 5 (2b+1) = 0

    (b-5) (2b+1) = 0

    b-5=0 2b+1=0

    b=5 2b=-1

    b=5 b = - 1/2

    b = 5, - 1/2

    20. z² + 12z + 36

    z² + 6z + 6z + 36

    z (z+6) + 6 (z+6)

    (z+6) (z+6) = 0

    z+6=0 z+6=0

    z = - 6 z = - 6

    z = - 6

    21. 9x² - 6x + 1

    9x² - 3x - 3x + 1

    3x (x-1) - 1 (x-1)

    (3x-1) (x-1) = 0

    3x-1=0 x-1=0

    3x=1 x=1

    x=1/3

    x=1, 1/3

    22. 4k² + 12k + 9

    4k² + 6k + 6k + 9

    2k (2k+3) + 3 (2k+3)

    (2k+3) (2k+3)

    2k+3 = 0

    2k = - 3

    k = - 3/2

    23. n² - 49 = 0

    n² = 49

    n = √49 = 7

    24. 2x² - 50 = 0

    2x² = 50

    x² = 50/2 = 25

    x² = 25

    x = √25 = 5
