There are 8 cans of soup there are 3times as many cans of vegetables how many cans of vegetables are there write an equation to find the unknown use variable for the unknown

8(number of soup) times 3 =x (number of vegetable cans)

First lets set up an equation to illustrate this situation.

Let # of cans of vegetables be v.
8(cans of soup) x 3(3 times more cans of vegetables) = v
v = 8x3

Solve:
v = 8x3
v=24

There are 24 cans of vegetables.

s = 22 degrees
       
Assuming I'm interpreting your description accurately, the top right angle of line b will also be 158 degrees because it's a corresponding angle to the top right angle of line a. That means that the top left angle of line b will be a supplementary angle. And supplementary angles add up to 180. So 180 - 158 = 22.
