Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation
Complimentary angles have a sum of 90*. Thus when adding the two equations together, we must get 90*.
7x + 17 + 3x - 7 = 90 Combine like terms
10x + 10 = 90 Subtract 10 on both sides
10x = 80 Divide both sides by 10
x = 8
Answer:
x = -24
Step-by-step explanation:
First, distribute 2 to all terms within the parenthesis:
2(x + 11) =
2 * x = 2x
2 * 11 = 22
2x + 22 = -26
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents (& Roots)
Multiplications
Divisions
Additions
Subtractions

First, subtract 22 from both sides of the equation:
2x + 22 (-22) = -26 (-22)
2x = -26 - 22
2x = -48
Next, divide 2 from both sides of the equation:
(2x)/2 = (-48)/2
x = -48/2
x = -24
x = -24 is your answer.

Answer:
The value of x is 49 and the value of AB is 90
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that AB and DE are congruent. That information is given to you.
You set the equations equal to each other and then solve.
2x - 8 = x + 38
Subtract x
x - 8 = 38
Add 8.
x = 49
Plug back into 2x - 8 to find the value of AB
2 times 49 - 8
98 - 8
90
