Answer:

119 degrees

Explanation:

Alright! So this is a supplementary angle, aka it equals 180 degrees. Knowing that, you can set up the equation. Both angle measures combined equal 180 degrees.

So set it up as -2+9x+17x=180

Now just use basic algebra. Combine like terms, So you now have 26x-2=180. Add 2 to both sides, and now you have 26x=182. x=7.

Now plug in the 7 to 17x, since that's the angle you need to find. 7 times 17 is 119. That's your answer, hope this helped!

Answer:

119 degrees

Explanation:

17x + (-2 + 9x) = 180

17x - 2 + 9x = 180

26x = 182

x = 182/26 = 7

17x = 17(7) = 119 degrees
