Let Ted be x.
Ed is 7 years older = x + 7
Ed = (3/4)Ted
(x + 7) = (3/4)x
x + 7 = 3x/4
x - 3x/4 = -7
x/4 = -7
x = -28, Ted = -28 years
(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21, Ed = -21 years.
Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense? No it doesn't.
Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.
We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth!

Answer:
x=23°
Step-by-step explanation:
The whole angle is 117°, and its split in two. One half is 94°, so 117-94= 23
Answer:
300 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance equation is D = RT
Where
D is the distance
R is the rate
T is the time
<u>Mindy</u>
8 am to 1 pm = 5 hours
<u>Kelly</u>
8 am to 2 pm = 6 hours
Kelly's rate is 10 mph SLOWER than mindy, so if we let Mindy's rate be "m", so Kelly's rate will be " m - 10 "
Now using the distance equation, we can write:
Mindy >>> D = RT >>> D = 5m
Kelly >>> D = RT >>> D = 6(m-10) >>> D = 6m - 60
Since both the distances are equal, we can write:
5m = 6m - 60
m = 60
We want the distance, we know:
D = 5m
D = 5(60)
D = 300 miles
The distance is 300 miles
