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:
Solution given:
x°+(5x)°=180°[being straight line which sum of angle is 180°]
adding like terms
(6x)°=180°
dividing both side by 6
(6x)°/6=180°/6
x=30°
Hi there!
To start, we can use the two points to find the slope using the formula y2-y1/x2-x1. Just sub in the points and solve!
-0.5-0.5/3-(-3)
-1/6
Sub that into the formula y-mx+b for m, and use one of the points for x and y - solve for b and you get your equation.
y=mx+b
y=-1/6x+b
0.5=-1/6*-3+b
0.5=-0.5+b
0.5+0.5=b
b=1
Therefore your equation is y=-1/6x+1
Hope this helps!
The answer is 86.4 I believe.
You can do it if you believe in your self!
