Hello There!
The correct answer would be "B" this is because we are taking 6 and multiply it by our x column which is the "in" column and adding 1 to what we get.
By looking at the statement I derived,
32 = 8 * 4
When expanding number, we should separate the numbers according to the places like the number 275 written in expanded form 200+70+5. So, in this question we must likely done like this. The number is 39,005 the sum that is written on expanded form is 30,000+9,000+5.
First set up the equation (sum of the angles is 180)
2x + 2(x-1) + (5x +2) = 180
distribute:
2x + 2x -2 + 5x +2 = 180
combine like terms:
9x = 180
solve for x:
x = 20
SO:
2x° = 2(20) = 40 degrees
2(x-1)° = 2(20) - 2 = 40 - 2 = 38 degrees
5x + 2°= 5(20) + 2 = 100 + 2=102 degrees
check: 40 + 38 + 102 = 180
