The answer is in the enclosed diagram
Let m = the total number of medals.
To find the total number of medals we can use either of the clues they gave us.
If Tara's team received 8 medals and that was 1/3 of the medals. That must mean that:
m x 1/3 = 8
What number divided by 3 is 8? Well, that is 24. Thus, the total number of medals is 24.
Note: we can check to see if 1/2 of 24 is 12, the total number of medals Jennifer team received, and it checks out!
Answer: x= 207.8873386
Step-by-step explanation:
expecting both 2x-15 and 3x are angles in radiant, let's draw a rhombus ABCD
∠ABC = 2x-15
∠ BCD = 3x
∠ABC + < BCD= π ( 180° in radiant)
2x - 15 + 3x = π
5x - 15 = π
x - 3 = 1/5π
= 3.628318531 = 207.8873386
2x−15°+3x=180
5x-15°=180
5x=195°
x=39°
