isnt x beign multiplied to the power of 0?

that is a degree symbol °

OpenStudy (mikeyymonroe):

oh sorry i cannot see it very well my eye sight is horrible. ok so the degree would be 7 (x) correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(2x-9)=(180-7x) 2x-9-180+7x=0 9x-189=0 9x=189 x=(189/9)=21

OpenStudy (mikeyymonroe):

if x = 21 than its (7 · 21) there is your degree.
