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( "
\n" );
