Since 4 = $3.88
Then 1 = 3.88/4

You draw a straight line and then put your number on the line. If you have to find a negative number, you can just go below zero. Positive numbers on a number line are always above zero. Hope this helps!
The trick to solving this problem is to know and remember that the sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.
Thus, (6x+1) + (5x-17) + (9x-24) = 180.
20x = -40, so x = -2 (answer)
