Solve for x.
−x+8=−9
Enter your answer as a number, like this: 42

x=17

Hope it helps;)

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation

-x+8=9

-x+8-8=9-8

Simplify

Subtract the numbers

x= -17

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

x= 17

-x/-1= -17/-1

Simplify

Cancel terms that are both in the numerator and denominator

Divide the numbers

x = 17

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
