Answer:

D 36

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Write the information algebraically</em>

c = 3a

c + a = 48

c = children, a = adults

<em>In the second sentence (in bold), we can replace c with 3a</em>

c + a = 48 → 3a + a = 48

<em>Simplify</em>

3a + a = 48 → 4a = 48 → a = 12 (divide both sides by 4)

<em>We can then substitute or plug in a = 12 into the original equation:</em>

c + a = 48 → c + 12 = 48 → c = 36 (subtract 12 from both sides)

<h3>There are 36 children</h3>

PLSSSS HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION!!!
AysviL [449]

Given,  

∠AOE = 30°

∠DOB = 40°

So, ∠EOD = 180 - (30+40)           [angles on a straight line]

                =  180 - 70

                =  110

∠EOD = ∠COF                             [ vertically opposite angle]

∴ ∠COF = 110°
