Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

If Fiona's age is x, Dan and Gavyn's ages respectively are x + 8 and x - 9. We can write:

x + x + 8 + x - 9 = 56

3x - 1 = 56

3x = 57

x = 19

The eldest is Dan (because x + 8 > x and x + 8 > x - 9). His age is x + 8 = 19 + 8 = 27.

16x^2 + 10x — 27 = -6x + 5<br><br> What are the solutions to this equation?
dexar [7]

Answer:

x=1 or x=−2

Step-by-step explanation:

16x2+10x−27=−6x+5

Step 1: Subtract -6x+5 from both sides.

16x2+10x−27−(−6x+5)=−6x+5−(−6x+5)

16x2+16x−32=0

Step 2: Factor left side of equation.

16(x−1)(x+2)=0

Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.

x−1=0 or x+2=0

x=1 or x=−2
