Wouldn’t it be D. since the domain is x. (x,y)
The answer is: " 91 " .
___________________________________________________
→ " B = 91 " .
__________________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________________
" A + B = 180 " ;
"A = -2x + 115 " ; ↔ A = 115 − 2x ;
"B = - 6x + 169 " ; ↔ B = 169 − 6x ;
_____________________________________________________
METHOD 1)
_____________________________________________________
Solve for "x" ; and then plug the solved value for "x" into the expression given for "B" ; to solve for "B"
_____________________________________________________
(115 − 2x) + (169 − 6x) =
115 − 2x + 169 − 6x = ?
→ Combine the "like terms" ; as follows:
+ 115 + 169 = + 284 ;
− 2x − 6x = − 8x ;
_________________________________________________________
And rewrite as:
" − 8x + 284 " ;
_________________________________________________________
→ " - 8x + 284 = 180 " ;
Subtract: "284" from each side of the equation:
→ " - 8x + 284 − 284 = 180 − 284 " ;
to get:
→ " -8x = -104 ;
Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "-8 " ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
→ -8x / -8 = -104/-8 ;
→ x = 13
__________________________________________________________
Now, to find the value of "B" :
__________________________________________________________
"B = - 6x + 169 " ; ↔ B = 169 − 6x ;
↔ B = 169 − 6x ;
= 169 − 6(13) ; ===========> Plug in our "solved value, "13", for "x" ;
= 169 − (78) ;
= 91 ;
B = " 91 " .
__________________________________________________
The answer is: " 91 " .
____________________________________________________
→ " B = 91 " .
____________________________________________________
Now; let us check our answer:
____________________________________________________
→ A + B = 180 ;
____________________________________________________
Plug in our "solved answer" ; which is "91", for "B" ; as follows:
________________________________________________________
→ A + 91 = ? 180? ;
↔ A = ? 180 − 91 ? ;
→ A = ? -89 ? Yes!
________________________________________________________
→ " A = -2x + 115 " ; ↔ A = 115 − 2x ;
Plug in our solved value for "x"; which is: "13" ;
" A = 115 − 2x " ;
→ A = ? 115 − 2(13) ? ;
→ A = ? 115 − (26) ? ;
→ A = ? 29 ? Yes!

METHOD 2)
_________________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________________
" A + B = 180 " ;
"A = -2x + 115 " ; ↔ A = 115 − 2x ;
"B = - 6x + 169 " ; ↔ B = 169 − 6x ;
→ Solve for the value of "B" :
_______________________________________________________
A + B = 180 ;
→ B = 180 − A ;
→ B = 180 − (115 − 2x) ;
→ B = 180 − 1(115 − 2x) ; ==========> {Note the "implied value of "1" } ;
__________________________________________________________
Note the "distributive property" of multiplication:__________________________________________________ a(b + c) = ab + ac ; <u><em>AND</em></u>:
a(b − c) = ab − ac .________________________________________________________
Let us examine the following part of the problem:
________________________________________________________
→ " − 1(115 − 2x) " ;
________________________________________________________
→ " − 1(115 − 2x) " = (-1 * 115) − (-1 * 2x) ;
= -115 − (-2x) ;
= -115 + 2x ;
________________________________________________________
So we can bring down the: " {"B = 180 " ...}" portion ;
→and rewrite:
_____________________________________________________
→ B = 180 − 115 + 2x ;
→ B = 65 + 2x ;
_____________________________________________________
Now; given: "B = - 6x + 169 " ; ↔ B = 169 − 6x ;
→ " B = 169 − 6x = 65 + 2x " ;
______________________________________________________
→ " 169 − 6x = 65 + 2x "
Subtract "65" from each side of the equation; & Subtract "2x" from each side of the equation:
→ 169 − 6x − 65 − 2x = 65 + 2x − 65 − 2x ;
to get:
→ " - 8x + 104 = 0 " ;
Subtract "104" from each side of the equation:
→ " - 8x + 104 − 104 = 0 − 104 " ;
to get:
→ " - 8x = - 104 ;
Divide each side of the equation by "-8" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
→ -8x / -8 = -104 / -8 ;
to get:
→ x = 13 ;
______________________________________________________
Now, let us solve for: " B " ; → {for which this very question/problem asks!} ;
→ B = 65 + 2x ;
Plug in our solved value, " 13 ", for "x" ;
→ B = 65 + 2(13) ;
= 65 + (26) ;
→ B = " 91 " .
_______________________________________________________
Also, check our answer:
_______________________________________________________
Given: "B = - 6x + 169 " ; ↔ B = 169 − 6x = 91 ;
When "x = 13 " ; does: " B = 91 " ?
→ Plug in our "solved value" of " 13 " for "x" ;
→ to see if: "B = 91" ; (when "x = 13") ;
→ B = 169 − 6x ;
= 169 − 6(13) ;
= 169 − (78)______________________________________________________
→ B = " 91 " .

The answer is C, hope this helps
Answer:
Median
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of center that best represents the data is median because the data is ordinal, that is it is in ranks. The first is 21, the second is 34, third is 56, fourth is 57 and fifth is 58.
