-9 x - 17 = -26 need the answer asap !

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the important thing to know here is that if you do something to both sides of an equation (eg, add 2) the equation will still be equal.

- 9x - 17 = - 26

add 17 to both sides of the equation

-9x - 17 + 17 = -26 + 17

-9x = -9

divide both sides of the equation by -9

-9x/-9 = -9/-9

x = 1

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98
