Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
-9x+1=-x+17
Add 9x on both sides:
1=8x+17
Subtract 17 on both sides:
-16=8x
Divide both sides by 8:
-2=x
Check x=-2!
-9x+1=-x+17 with x=-2
-9(-2)+1=-(-2)+17
18+1=2+17
19=19
19=19 is a true equation so x=-2 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a = x² + 3x - 40
Step-by-step explanation:
a = l * w
a = (x - 5)(x + 8)
a = x(x + 8) - 5(x + 8)
a = (x² + 8x) + (- 5x - 40)
a = x² + 3x - 40
