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.

Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's rewrite the numbers inside to see if we can take some out.
For example; 12 is 3 x 4 and 4 is which means a 2 will come out of the root.
We can also rewrite 18 as 9 x 2 and 9 can be rewritten as which will make the 3 come out.
60 can be rewritten as 15 x 4 and 4 can be rewritten as which will make the 2 come out.
Let's rewrite this.
When a number comes out of a root, it has to be multiplied by the number that is already outside.
Solve and eliminate parentheses.
