Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle is equilateral which means the sides are equal.
x+9 = 2x
Subtract x from each side
x+9-x = 2x-x
9 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
If you want the "root" of the equation...
First get y by itself on one side. You should get y = - x - 8.
Notice that this is the equation of a straight line.
Then let y = 0, and solve for x. You should get x = -8.
So the solution or "root" of the equation is at the point (-8,0)
