First subtract the 7 from both sides and that would equal 2x+9=2x then subtract 2x and the answer is 9

There are no real solutions to this equation and that would be your answer.
If you subtract 7 from both sides you get 2x+9=2x. No value of x would make that equation true, so you have to write on your paper that there are no real solutions as your answer.

First, split the triangle into half.

So the angle 38 becomes 38/2=19.

So we know two angles in the triangle:

One is 19 degrees.

The other one is 90 degrees (marked red).

The angles in a right-angled triangle add up to 180 degrees.

So to find the x angle, we calculate it by:

180 - (90+19) = 71

(the sum of three angles) - (the sum of the two known angles) = unknown angle
