Answer: 3

Equilateral triangles, squares and regular hexagons are the only regular polygons that tessellate.

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, a tessellation is the covering of the plane by closed geometric shapes, called tiles, without gaps or overlaps. Regular polygons have congruent straight sides. When we slide or rotate a regular polygon, the side of the original figure and the side of its translation will match.

Equilateral triangles, squares and regular hexagons are the only regular polygons that tessellate. Therefore, there are only three regular tessellations.

Answer:

The value of $x$ :

$x = -2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the value of $x$ :

$-9x + 1 = -x + 17$

-Add both sides by $x$ :

$-9x + 1 + x = -x + x + 17$

$-8x + 1 = 17$

-Subtract both sides by $1$ :

$-8x + 1 - 1 = 17 - 1$

$-8x = 16$

Divide both sides by $-8$ :

$\frac{-8x}{-8} = \frac{16}{-8}$

$x = -2$

So, the final answer would be $x = -2$ .
