Answer:
x = - 22, x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(x + 9)² = 169 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 9 = ± = ± 13 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
x = - 9 ± 13
Thus
x = - 9 - 13 = - 22
x = - 9 + 13 = 4
x = 14.5
Exterior angle thm
<C = <D
7x - 2 = 9x - 31
7x - 9x = -31 + 2
-2x = -29
x= -2
