K=kevin age
d=daniel ae

k is 3 times d
k=3d

4 years ago (k-4 and d-4)
kevin was 5 times as old as dan

k-4=5(d-4)

we have
k=3d
and
k-4=5(d-4)
sub 3d for k in second euaiton
3d-4=5(d-4)
3d-4=5d-20
minus 3d both sides
-4=2d-20
add 20 both sides
16=2d
divide 2
8=d
sub back
k=3d
k=3(8)
k=24

kevin is 24

K = Kevin's age
D = Daniel's age

K = 3D

K - 4 = 5(D - 4)

Plug in 3D for the K values in the second equation.

3D - 4 = 5(D - 4)   Use the Distributive Property
3D - 4 = 5D - 20   Add 4 to both sides
     3D = 5D - 16     Subtract 5D from both sides
    -2D = -16            Divide both sides by -2
       D = 8 
 Now, plug that D value into the original equation.

K = 3D    Plug in the D value
K = 3(8)   Multiply
K = 24

Finally, you can double check your math.

4 years ago, Daniel would've been 4 and Kevin would be 20, so Kevin would've been 5 times as old as Daniel.  And 8 x 3 = 24.

So, Kevin is 24.

Overdrafting is when you deposit you're money in a bank account so it could either be +75 or -75 both of them might be correct.

I NEED HELP !!! 30 points!!!! and brainliest :)<br><br>please give sensible answer :(<br><br><br>​
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9) PQR Is an isosceles triangle

=> ∠PRQ = (180° - x)/2

PRS is an isosceles right triangle

=> ∠PRS = 45°

Have: ∠PRS + ∠PRQ = 115°

=> \frac{180-x}{2}+45=115 \\

=> 180 - x = (115 - 45).2 = 140

<=> x = 180 - 140 = 40

10) ABD is an isosceles right triangle => ∠ABD = 45°

BCD is an equilateral triangle => ∠CBD = 60°

have: x = ∠ABD + ∠CBD = 45° + 60° = 105°

11) have: x = y (2)

PQT is an isosceles triangle => ∠PQT = 180 - 70.2 = 40

QTS   is an isosceles triangle => ∠TQS = 180 -2x

QRS   is an isosceles triangle => ∠RSQ = y

have: 40 + 180 - 2x + y = 180 => 2x - y = 40 (1)

(1)(2) => \left \{ {{y=x} \atop {2x-y=40}} \right.\\\\=> \left \{ {{x=40} \atop {y=40}} \right.

=> x + y = 80

12) EFJ Is an equilateral  triangle => ∠FJE = 60

∠FJE is the outer angle of the triangle FHJ but FHJ is an isosceles triangle

=> 60 = 2.∠JHF => ∠JHF = 30°

∠JHF is the outer angle of the triangle FHG

=> 30° = 2x

<=> x = 15°
