So,
First you have to distribute the numbers outside of the parentheses (you multiply them with the numbers inside of the parentheses
-18+(-9a) + 8a +36=11
Then collect like terms
18-1a =11
-18 -18
---------------------
-1a=-7
Divide both sides by -1
a=7
Isolate the variable x.
1-2x=-x-3
1=x-3
x=4
7/8 because there are 8 pieces of pizza and they eat 7 slices of pizza.
<span>Each Interior Angle = <span>(<span>(Number of Sides -2) • 180 degrees<span>)<span> ÷ (Number of Sides)
Solving for number of sides
</span></span></span></span></span>
<span>Each Interior Angle / 180 = <span>(N -2) <span>/ (N)
144 / 180 = (n-2) / n
144 * n = 180n -360
360 = 36 n
n = 10 the number of sides
