Some syrup spilled on a checkerboard-style table. The
syrup covered some of the tiles
There were 36 squares on the
table. How many of the squares
had syrup on them?

the sum of all the angles in a triangle are equal to 180

so you can add   the 3 given angles together to equal 180:

5y + 2y + 2y = 180

or since all three angles have the same letter, combine the 3 angles to equal 180:

9y = 180

452,489 to the nearest thousand is 452,000

i got 142 as my answer
