Solve the equation.

–9x + 1 = –x + 17

x = - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : –9x + 1 = –x + 17.

To find : Solve the equation.

Solution : We have given

–9x + 1 = –x + 17.

On adding both side by x .

: –9x  + x + 1 = 17.

: –8x + 1 =  17.

On subtracting both sides by 1

–8x =  17 – 1.

–8x =  16.

On dividing both sides by -8.

x = - 2.

Therefore, x = - 2.

b is 38 degrees.

a is 52 degrees.

this is because if b is 38 and a is 14 degrees more than b than 38+14=52 and 52+38=90 degrees. hope this .
