Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
2 * 3 = 6
5 * 3 = 15
7 * 3 = 21
9 * 3 = 27

Problem 7: Correct
Problem 8: Correct
Problem 9: Correct
The steps are below if you are curious
===========================================================================================
Problem 7
S = 180*(n-2)
2340 = 180*(n-2)
2340/180 = n-2
13 = n-2
n-2 = 13
n = 13+2
n = 15
I'm using n in place of lowercase s, but the idea is the same. If anything, it is better to use n for the number of sides since S already stands for the sum of the interior angles. I'm not sure why your teacher decided to swap things like that.
===========================================================================================
Problem 8
First find y
y+116 = 180
y+116-116 = 180-116
y = 64
which is then used to find x. The quadrilateral angles add up to 180*(n-2) = 180*(4-2) = 360 degrees
Add up the 4 angles, set the sum equal to 360, solve for x
x+y+125+72 = 360
x+64+125+72 = 360 ... substitution (plug in y = 64)
x+261 = 360
x+261-261 = 360-261
x = 99
===========================================================================================
Problem 9
With any polygon, the sum of the exterior angles is always 360 degrees
The first two exterior angles add to 264. The missing exterior angle is x
x+264 = 360
x+264-264 = 360-264
x = 96
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
5x - 11 = 3x + 5
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
<u>Subtract 3x on both sides:</u> 2x - 11 = 5
<u>Add 11 to both sides:</u> 2x = 16
<u>Divide both sides by 2:</u> x = 8
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it is a solution.</em>
5(8) - 11 = 3(8) + 5
40 - 11 = 24 + 5
29 = 29
