If there is one table (t=1) then 6 chairs (c=6) can be placed around the table, 2 along the length on each side and 1 at each end.
When t=2, and the tables are end to end (joined at their width) c=10, that is, 4 chairs on each side of the double table and 1 at each end. Each time a table is added c increases by 4 so we can write c=4t+2 the constant 2 being the single chair at each end. If the tables are separated then c=6t.
It is negative.
When you subtract a negative a positive number from a negative number, the result is positive. The equation can be rewritten as -8.8-(+3.4).
The sum of the interior triangles in a triangle is 180, so if we add all the angle measures together, we should get 180. Therefore, we can make an equation like this,
Simplify this.
Now we can find each angle measure.
So the angle labeled is the largest angle in the triangle.
