A 24-foot by 72-foot rectangular dance floor is completely tiled with 1-foot by 1-foot square tiles. Two opposite corners of the dance floor are connected by a diagonal. This diagonal passes through the interior of exactly how many tiles

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

answer: just subtact the units and then add the non negative : happy to
