((8)(8))+((b)(b))=((17)(17))

Solution for ((8)(8))+((b)(b))=((17)(17)) equation:

Simplifying
((8)(8)) + ((b)(b)) = ((17)(17))

Multiply 8 * 8
(64) + ((b)(b)) = ((17)(17))
64 + ((b)(b)) = ((17)(17))

Multiply b * b
64 + (b2) = ((17)(17))
64 + b2 = ((17)(17))

Solving
64 + b2 = 289

Solving for variable 'b'.

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-64' to each side of the equation.
64 + -64 + b2 = 289 + -64

Combine like terms: 64 + -64 = 0
0 + b2 = 289 + -64
b2 = 289 + -64

Combine like terms: 289 + -64 = 225
b2 = 225

Simplifying
b2 = 225

Take the square root of each side:
b = {-15, 15}
