1: establish the angles, basically label one x (the small one) and the other y (the bigger one)
2. supplementary angles add up to 180, so therefore you have the equation x + y = 180.
3. so y (the bigger one) is 8 less than 3 times the smaller one (x) therefore you come up with the equation y = 3x - 8
4. plug in the equation of the bigger one into the other equation
x + 3x - 8 = 180
(combine like terms)
4x - 8 = 180
5. solve the equation by adding 8 to 180, then by dividing by 4.
x should equal 47
6. plug in 47 into the x + y = 180 equation, subtract 47 from 180 and you end up with 133
i hope i explained it alright
Answer:
If there are 13 guests, it would cost Norma $26
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 12 guest equals 24 dollars all you have to do is divide 24/12 which would give you 2dollars. this means that she has to pay 2 dollars per guest. Multiply 13 becuase you want to know how much money it would cost with 13 guests and you get 26 dollars. Hope this helps.
