Please help me answer these questions. I already tried to answer it but I just keep on getting wrong answers.
Here's the link for the questions:

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Here's 15
Call the first angle x
The second = 2x + 10
The third = 5[2x + 10] - 10 and we have
x + 2x + 10 + 5[2x + 10] - 10 = 180 simplify
x + 2x + 10 + 10x + 50 - 10 = 180
13x + 50 = 180 subtract 50 from both sides
13x = 130 divide both sides by 13 and x = 10 and this is the first angle
2(10) + 10 = 30 and this is the second
5[30] - 10 = 140 and this is the third

Here's 2
Call the first side, x
The second side is x+ 3
The third side is 3(x + 3) - 2
And we have
x + [x + 3} + 3(x + 3) - 2 = 45 simplify
x + x + 3 + 3x + 9 - 2 = 45
5x + 10 = 45 subtract 10 from both sides
5x = 35 divide both sides by 5
x = 7 cm
And the third side = 3(7 + 3) - 2 = 3(10) - 2 = 28 cm

Here's 4
L = 3W + 2
And the prerimeter = 2[L + W] = 2[ (2W + 2) + W ] and we have
2 [ (3W + 2) + W ] = 36 simplify
2 [ 4W + 2 ] = 36 divide both sides by 2
4W + 2 = 18 subtract 2 from both sides
4W = 16 divide both sides by 4
W = 4 cm
L= 3(4)) + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14 cm

Here's 8
L = W + 3
So
2 [ L + W ] = perimeter
2 [ (W + 3) + W ] = 30 simplify....divide both sides by 2
2W + 3 = 15 subtract 3 from both sides
2W = 12 so W = 6 and L = W + 3 = 9
And area = L * W = 9 * 6 = 54 cm^2

Here's 10
2L + 2W = 20 divide both sides by 2
W + L = 10 → W = 10 - L .....the original area = W*L = [10 - L]L = 10L - L^2
And we have that
[L + 2 ] * [ W + 3} = 10L - L^2 + 30
[L + 2] * [ 10 - L + 3] = 10L - L^2 + 30 simplify
[ L + 2] * [ 13 - L] = 10L - L^2 + 30
-L^2 + 26 + 13L -2L = 10L - L^2 + 30
26 + 11L = 10L + 30 subtract 26 , 10L from both sides
L = 4 m and W = 10 - L = 6 m and these are the original dimensions

Here's 12
The original area = s^2
So
[s + 2] [s + 2 ] = s^2 + 28 simplify
s^2 + 4s + 4 = s^2 + 28 subtract s^2 from both sides
4s + 4 = 28 subtract 4 from both sides
4s = 24 divide both sides by 4
s = 6 cm this is the side of the original square....and the original perimeter was 4 times this = 24 cm

Here's 14
Call the smallest angle, x
The second = 2x
The third = 3x
And we have
x + 2x + 3x = 180
6x = 180 divide both sides by 6
x = 30
2x = 60
3x = 90
![]()
Here's 15
Call the first angle x
The second = 2x + 10
The third = 5[2x + 10] - 10 and we have
x + 2x + 10 + 5[2x + 10] - 10 = 180 simplify
x + 2x + 10 + 10x + 50 - 10 = 180
13x + 50 = 180 subtract 50 from both sides
13x = 130 divide both sides by 13 and x = 10 and this is the first angle
2(10) + 10 = 30 and this is the second
5[30] - 10 = 140 and this is the third
