To solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

2x - 1 - 7 = 9       First you can combine -1 and -7

2x - 8 = 9           Now add 8 on both sides

2x - 8 + 8 = 9 + 8

2x = 17      Divide 2 on both sides to get "x" by itself

\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{17}{2}

x=\frac{17}{2}   or  x = 8.5

PROOF:

2x - 1 - 7 = 9        

2x - 8 = 9          Substitute/plug in 8.5 into "x" since x = 8.5

2(8.5) - 8 = 9

17 - 8 = 9

9 = 9

In the diagram below line m is parallel to line n
Dovator [93]
You need to find the angle measurements of the triangle.
The angle supplementary to 128 measures (180 - 128 =) 52 degrees.

Using the corresponding and supplementary property because lines m and n are parallel, you know that the highest (in location) angle of the triangle measure 90 degrees.

A triangle's total angle measurements add up to 180 degrees. Subtract the other two known angles from 180. 180 - 52 - 90 = 38. The third (right side) angle of the triangle measures 38 degrees. 

Now, using the supplementary angle theorem, you can find angle a, which is supplementary to the third angle on the triangle. 180 - 38 = 142.

Angle a measures 142 degrees.

Given ∠10≅∠14, which lines, if any, must be parallel based on the given information? Justify your conclusion. PHOTO: https://sta
lora16 [44]
<span>Lines c and d must be parallel. This is because angles 10 and 14 are congruent (i.e. the magnitude of their angles is the same). Both angles share line a, which is intersected by line c (which makes up the other side of angle 10, and line d (which makes up the other side of angle 14).</span>
