17 = 3(4x - 5)
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
17 = 12x - 15
<em><u>Add 15 to both sides.</u></em>
32 = 12x
<em><u>Divide both sides by 12.</u></em>
x = 2.67. (This is your answer.)
Let me know if you have any questions.
The next number is 27.
You can find this by finding the common ratio between 3 and 9 and multiplying 9 by the common ratio. The common ratio is 3

Add the three angles and set them to 180
4x-13+15+x+18=180
5x+20=180
5x=160
x=32
Then plug in to get A and C
A=4*32-13
A=115
C=32+18
C=50
