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>

Help me asap how to understand Measuring Angles
Whitepunk [10]

this depends. you can measure angles in real life with a protractor or just use your eye. let us start with the protractor. place the midpoint of a protractor on the vertex of the angle and make sure it lines up to 0. on the other side read the degrees (make sure everything aligns). without a protractor you can use the Sine Formula and measure the lines.
