QuestionSolve the equation: $a^{2}+2(b-6)-17=24$.

Studdy Solution
To solve for $a$, take the square root of both sides. Remember that the square root of a square is the absolute value, so we get two solutions $a=\sqrt{53-2b}$ and $a=-\sqrt{53-2b}$.
$$a=\pm\sqrt{53-2b}$$At this point, we have solved for $a$ in terms of $b$. To solve for $b$, we would need additional information or constraints on the values of $a$ and $b$. Without such information, we can't solve for $b$.
