$$\left(x^{2} - 8 x\right) + 17 = 0$$
Simplify
Detail solution
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = -8$$
$$c = 17$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-8)^2 - 4 * (1) * (17) = -4

Because D<0, then the equation
has no real roots,
but complex roots is exists.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = 4 + i$$
$$x_{2} = 4 - i$$
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced quadratic equation
$$p x + q + x^{2} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = -8$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = 17$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = q$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = 8$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = 17$$

Rapid solution [src] 
x1 = 4 - I
$$x_{1} = 4 - i$$ 
x2 = 4 + I
$$x_{2} = 4 + i$$ 
x2 = 4 + i
Sum and product of roots [src] 
sum
4 - I + 4 + I
$$\left(4 - i\right) + \left(4 + i\right)$$ 
=
8
$$8$$ 
product
(4 - I)*(4 + I)
$$\left(4 - i\right) \left(4 + i\right)$$ 
=
17
$$17$$ 
17
Numerical answer [src] 
x1 = 4.0 - 1.0*i
x2 = 4.0 + 1.0*i
x2 = 4.0 + 1.0*i
