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.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes 1/5 of a gallon of water to fill up a package of water balloon

There are 5 gallons of water in total

Therefore the number of packs of balloons that can be filled can be calculated as follows

= 5 ÷ 1/5

= 5 × 5/1

= 25

Hence 25 packs of the balloon can be filled

Mr. Abernathy purchased a selection of wrenches for his shop. The total cost was $78. He bought the same number of $1.50 and $2.
Over [174]
78 = 1.50x + 2.50x + 4(x/2)) + 3((x/2) + 1))
78 = 4x + 4(x/2) + 3((x/2)+1)
78 = 4x + 2x + (3(x/2) + 3)
78 = 6x + 1.5x + 3
75 = 7.5x
10 = x
Mr. Abernathy bought 10 wrenches at $1.50, 10 wrenches at $2.50, 5 wrenches at $4, and 6 wrenches at $3.

Parallelogram ABCD is given. Draw line EF so that it goes through the vertex A. Point E lies on the side BC and point F lies on
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The proof is explained step-wise below :

Step-by-step explanation :

For better understanding of the solution see the attached figure :

Given : ABCD is a Parallelogram ⇒ AB ║ DC and AD ║ BC

Now, F lies on the extension of DC. So, AB ║ DF

To Prove : ΔABE is similar to ΔFCE

Proof :

Now, in ΔABE and ΔFCE

∠ABE = ∠FCE ( alternate angles are equal )

∠AEB = ∠FEC ( Vertically opposite angles )

So, by using AA postulate of similarity of triangles

ΔABE is similar to ΔFCE

Hence Proved.
