Hey there!
Assuming #1 ….
x + 7x + x = 180°
REWORD
1x + 7x + 1x = 180°
COMBINE the LIKE TERMS
(1x + 7x + 1x) = 180°
8x + 1x = 180°
9x = 180°
DIVIDE 9 to BOTH SIDES
9x/9 = 180/9
CANCEL out: 9/9 because it equal 1
KEEP: 180/9 because it give you the x-value
NEW EQUATION: x = 180/9
SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 20

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

It can be factored.
We need two numbers that multiply to -12 and add to -4, so are two terms would be -6 and 2.
(x - 6) (x + 2) = 0
x = 6
x = -2
Answer=5
a=9 , b=6 , c=3 so 9+6= 15 , 15/3 = 5
