Answer:
Explanation:

Take the square root of both sides:-

Now, let's break down the problem into 2 equations:-
1st →

2nd →

Solve the 1st equation:
- x-5=√(17)
- x-5+5=√(17)+5
- x= √(17) + 5
Solve the 2nd equation:-
- x-5= -√(17)
- x-5+5= -√(17)+5
- x= -√(17) + 5
Therefore, the answer is x= 5 ± √(17) .
