W=winston's age
x=xavier's age


winston is 8  years older than xavier
w=8+x

in 2 years, winston will be twice as old as xavier
w+2=2(x+2)

we have
w=8+x and
w+2=2(x+2)
subsitute 8+x for w

w+2=2(w+2)
8+x+2=2(x+2)
x+10=2(x+2)
x+10=2x+4
minus x both sides
10=x+4
minus 4 both sides
6=x

sub back
w=8+x
w=8+6
w=14

winston is 14 years old now
xavier is 6 years old now

In the diagram below AFB is congruent to EFD if EFD = 5x + 6, DFC = 19x - 15, and EFC = 17x + 19, find AFE
yanalaym [24]

The angle m∠AFE is 128 degrees.

<h3>How to find angles?</h3>

∠AFB ≅ ∠EFD

∠EFD = 5x + 6

m∠DFC = (19x - 15)°

m∠EFC = (17x + 19)°

m∠AFE = ?

m∠AFB + m ∠EFD + m∠AFE = 180

Therefore,

5x + 6 + 5x + 6 + m∠AFE = 180

5x + 5x + 6 + 6 + m∠AFE = 180

10x + 12 + m∠AFE = 180

10x + m∠AFE = 180 - 12

10x + m∠AFE  = 168

m∠AFE = 168 - 10x

m∠EFC =  m ∠EFD + m∠DFC

17x + 19 = 5x + 6 + 19x - 15

17x - 5x - 19x = 6 - 15 - 19

-7x = - 28

x = 28 / 7

x = 4

Therefore,

m∠AFE = 168 - 10x

m∠AFE = 168 - 10(4)

m∠AFE = 168 - 40

m∠AFE = 128°

Therefore, the angle m∠AFE = 128°

His conduct at the state dinner was a cavalcade
Ne4ueva [31]

(C) "gaffe"

A gaffe is a mistake. The text would read "His conduct at the state dinner was a cavalcade of blunders, one gaffe following another until the evening ended" if this phrase were added. The comma signifies that the word that is missing is equivalent to the word error.

A social misstep can be described using either the words "blunder" or "gaffe." The answer is not (A). A "query" is an enquiry or question. (B) is the wrong answer. Gibe is slang for a mocking comment.

The answer is not (D). Tryst is often used to describe an amorous encounter. The answer is not (E). An expression of appreciation, respect, or admiration is referred to as a "tribute.".
