There is a total of 90 handshakes.

<h3>How many handshakes took place?</h3>

There are 5 sets of triplets.

If we select one of the sets, each of the triplets will have one handshake with the other 12 people. So we have 36 handshakes at this point.

Now we only care for the other 4 sets.

We select one set again, each triple on that set will have one handshake with the other 9 people, so for the 3 triplets, we have a total of 27 new handshakes.

For the remaining 3 sets we do the same, this time we add 18 handshakes.

Finally, there are 2 sets of triplets, this time we add 9 new handshakes.

To get the total number of handshakes we need to add them all:

36 + 27 + 18 + 9 = 90

There is a total of 90 handshakes.

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 9 and 51 are same- side interior angles and sum to 180° , then

8x + 9 + 51 = 180

8x + 60 = 180 ( subtract 60 from both sides )

8x = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 15
