Answer 2

So

\[x = (2n+12)\]

\[y = (3n+8)\]

Answer 3

yeah

Answer 4

how do i solve for N? @greatlife44

Answer 5

that doesn't work @greatlife44

Answer 6

you end up getting 190 instead of 180 also x would equal 76 which isn't an answer choice

Answer 7

32 cant be N

Answer 8

i tested it on my calculator to check it

Answer 9

I copied the formula down wrong.

x+y = 180 degrees

(2n+12)+(3n+18) = 5n+30 = 180

5n = 150

n = 30

2(30)+12 = 72 = x

3(30)+18 = 108 = y

72+108 = 180
