Question

What is the value of w in terms of x and y?

Answer 1

aka "solve for \(w\) " right?

Answer 2

I'm not sure...

Answer 3

if that is a straight line on the right, then \(2x+w=180\)

Answer 4

yea

Answer 5

so you can solve for \(w\) with no \(y\) in it , just
\[w=180-2x\]

Answer 6

The answer to this is w=2x+2y-180

Answer 7

i have no clue how that's the answer

Answer 8

me neither

Answer 9

crap

Answer 10

i am sure we can figure it out if we stare long enough

Answer 11

yea that's the only strategy i have thus far

Answer 12

we got a bunch of stuff we know
for example \[x+y+k=180\]

Answer 13

yea

Answer 14

\[w+2k=180\]

Answer 15

yea i got that

Answer 16

we can solve \[w+2k=180\] for \(k\) and get
\[w=180-2k\]then plug that in to the first one

Answer 17

yea

Answer 18

oops that is wrong, i meant "solve for \(k\)"

Answer 19

\[k=\frac{180-w}{2}\]

Answer 20

hmmm okay

Answer 21

plug that in h ere \[x+y+k=180\]

Answer 22

This is confusing!

Answer 23

\[x+y+\frac{180-w}{2}=180\] then solve that for \(w\)

Answer 24

wow u kno what i'm just going to skip this because this is way too hard

Answer 25

it is not that hard takes three steps at the most

Answer 26

multiply by 2 get \[2x+2y+180-w=360\]

Answer 27

add \(w\) subtract \(360\) get
\[2x+2y-180=w\]

Answer 28

wow you got it..... okay well lemme sit here and stare for a bit to process this..

Answer 29

so another method would be

K=(180-x-y)
w+k+k=180
w=180-2k
w=180-2(180-x-y)
w=180-360+2x+2y
w=2x+2y-180
