let's plug in the value of y :
Sum of interior angles of triangle = 180
x + x + 6 + 3x - 16 = 180
5x - 10 = 180
5x = 190
x = 38
<M = 3(38) - 16
<M = 114 - 16
<M = 98°
9514 1404 393
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number. The problem statement tells you ...
2/3(3x +6) = 10
2x +4 = 10 . . . . . . use the distributive property
x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3
The number is 3.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
The above shows an "alternative" solution method. The more usual way this might be done is ...
2(3x +6) = 30 . . . . . multiply by 3 to clear fractions
6x +12 = 30 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
6x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
