Answer:
C) 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Set x equal to the number of cousins Juan has:
5/8 = 15/x
Cross-multiply: 5x = 15 × 8
5x = 120
x = 24

Answer: Angle Q = 133 degrees</h3>
========================================================
Work Shown:
Recall that for any triangle, the three angles always add to 180
P+Q+R = 180
(x+13) + (10x+13) + (2x-2) = 180
(x+10x+2x) + (13+13-2) = 180
13x+24 = 180
13x = 180-24
13x = 156
x = 156/13
x = 12
Now that we know x, we can find the angle measures
- angle P = x+13 = 12+13 = 25 degrees
- angle Q = 10x+13 = 10*12+13 = 120+13 = 133 degrees
- angle R = 2x-2 = 2*12-2 = 24-2 = 22 degrees
As a way to check if we have the right answer or not, we see that,
P+Q+R = 25+133+22 = 180
So the answer is confirmed.
