Are you have to give me any tips on how to solve this?

Answer 2

The angles of a triangle add up to how many degrees?

Answer 3

180

Answer 4

So add up all three angles and set them equal 180. Solve for y, then plug y into each function to see which angle is the smallest.

Answer 5

I already tried that but was not able to solve it

Answer 6

\[(22y + 8) + (15y+9) + (14y+10) = 180\]
\[51y+ 27= 180\]
\[51y=153\]
\[y =?\]
