Answer:
x + 6x+10 + x+2 = 180
x = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees
x + 6x+10 + x+2 = 180
Combine like terms
8x + 12 = 180
Subtract 12 from each side
8x+12-12 = 180-12
8x =168
Divide each side by 8
8x/8 = 168/8
x =21

The class is made up of male and female students.
"A drama class has a total of 26 students"
f + m = 26
"The number of females is 16 less than the number of males"
f = m - 16
Substitute the second equation into the first.
m - 16 + m = 26
- combine like terms -
2m - 16 = 26
- add 16 to both sides -
2m = 42
- divide by 2 -
m = 21
Now substitute that answer into either equation
f + 21 = 26
- subtract both sides by 21 -
f = 5
Remember that whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other
