U count how many students were walking then multiply it by half itself
Answer:
2x - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
7x - (9 + 5x) < distribute the - into the parentheses to get rid of them
7x - 9 - 5x < combine like terms
7x - 5x = 2x
-9 stays as it is as there are no other terms to combine it with
the answer is 2x - 9
2x + 2x + x = 180°
5x = 180°
x = 36° (C)
