Answer

Since the equation represents a circle with radius \(\sqrt{44}\), there is no unique solution for x and y, and thus, no unique value for x+y

Steps

Step 1 :Rewrite the equation as \(x^2 - 12x + y^2 - 10y + 17 = 0\)

Step 2 :Complete the square in x and y, we get \((x - 6)^2 - 36 + (y - 5)^2 - 25 + 17 = 0\)

Step 3 :Simplify the equation, \((x - 6)^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 44\)

Step 4 :Since the equation represents a circle with radius \(\sqrt{44}\), there is no unique solution for x and y, and thus, no unique value for x+y
