Answer:
Dan is 29. Cary is 36.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Dan's age now be D.
Let Cary's age now be C.
"Cary is 7 years older than Dan."
C = D + 7
"In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 79. "
In 7 years, the ages of Dan and Cary will be D + 7 and C + 7, respectively.
D + 7 + C + 7 = 79
C + D + 14 = 79
C + D = 65
C = D + 7
The last two equations in bold above form a system of equations. Since the second equation is already solved for C, we use the substitution method.
D + 7 + D = 65
2D + 7 = 65
2D = 58
D = 29
C = D + 7
C = 29 + 7
C = 36
Answer: Dan is 29. Cary is 36.
Answer: 38 Videos
Step-by-step explanation:
Add Vikki’s and Chris’s videos (131+80=211)
If they rented 173 more than the average couple you need to subtract Vikki’s and Chris’s amount from 173 (211-173=38)
That will give you the average videos other couples rent

Answer:
x = 15 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle ACD is similar to triangle ABE based on the information given, therefore we can set up a proportion to compare the sides:
side AE / side EB = side AD / side DC
4/6 = 10/x
Solve for x
x = (10)(6) / 4
x = 60 / 4
x = 15 ft
