Answer: Gail could have from 0 to 8.5 and Jim could have 10 to 18.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Gail = G
Jim = G + 10
J + G <= 27 ∴
G+10+G <=27
2G + 10 <= 27
2G <= 27 - 10
2G <= 17
G <= 17/2
G <= 8.5
As it is money, let's not say that they have negative money.
So, Gail has from 0 to 8.5. As Jim has 10 more than Gail, he has from 10 to 18.5. At the most : 8.5 + 18.5 = 27.

Solution:
x y ║ z w→→Given
Also, x z is a transversal, that intercepts x y and z w.
So, ∠ x z w=∠z x y→→Alternate interior angles as, x y ║ z w.
Also, v is point of intersection of x z and y w.
∠ x v y ≅ ∠ z v w→→[ Vertically opposite angles]
So,→→ Δ x y v ~ Δ z w v⇒⇒[Angle-Angle Similarity]
