Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
By corresponding angles and vertical angles, these two angles are equal.
Equation
-1 + 14x = 12x + 17 Subtract 12x from both sides
Solution
-1 + 14x - 12x = 12x - 12x + 17
-1 + 2x = 17 Add 1 to both sides
-1+1 + 2x = 17 + 1
2x = 18 Divide by 2
2x/2 = 18/2
x = 9
