Answer:
(B) 3 Adults and 7 Kids
Explanation:
The first thing we have to do is define variables:
X = adult
Y = kids
Next we will create equations for the information given:
8X + 5Y = 59
X + Y = 10
So to determine the answer we must combine the equations.
X = 10 - Y
8(10 - Y) + 5Y = 59
Distribute the 8
80 -8Y + 5Y = 59
Move the 80 to the other side and combined like terms
-3Y = -21
Divide by -3
Y = 7
Plug Y into an original equation
X + 7 = 10
Subtract 7
X = 3
Double check by plugging both variables into the other original equation
8(3) + 5(7) = 59
24 + 35 = 59
59 = 59
Therefore, there are 3 adults and 7 kids. (B)

Quadrilateral ABCD is given, the interior angle at vertex B is 97 degrees and the exterior angle at vertex A is 88 degrees. Line
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

angle 1 = 83°

angle 2 = 88°

Step-by-step explanation:

angle 1 and angle on vertex B are

pair of co interior angles ( whose sum = 180° )

so, angle 1 + angle B = 180°

angle 1 = 180° - angle B

angle 1 = 180° - 97° = 83°

hence, angle 1 = 83°

but, angle 2 and exterior of vertex A forms alternate interior angle pair ,

so , angle 2 = angle A = 88°

i hope you got it ....
