Algebra.Com's Answer #695278 by addingup(3677) You can put this solution on YOUR website! D is not one of your angles. \n" ); document.write( "----------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Proof: \n" ); document.write( "2y + 3 + 9y − 7 + 7y + 4 = 180 (the three angles of EVERY triangle sum 180) \n" ); document.write( "Group like terms \n" ); document.write( "2y+9y+7y+3-7+4 =180 \n" ); document.write( "18y = 180 \n" ); document.write( "y = 10 \n" ); document.write( "Substitute y with 10 in the equations above to get your answers: \n" ); document.write( "2(10)+3 = \n" ); document.write( "9(10)-7 = \n" ); document.write( "7(10)+4 = \n" ); document.write( " |
