Given the quadratic equation:


x^2-14x+32=0​

Let's solve the equation for all the values of x by completing the square.

We get,


x^2-14x+32=0​
x^2\text{ - 14x + 32 + 17 = 0 + 17}
x^2\text{ - 14x + 49 = 17}
(x-7)^2\text{ = 17}

Determining the value of x, we equate x - 7.

x - 7 = 0

x = 7

Therefore, the value of x in this equation is 7.
