Answer : A
The word "increased" indicates a plus sign. The word "is equal" helps show us show that something is = to 15
well, we know the ceiling is 6+2/3 high, and Eduardo has 4+1/2 yards only, how much more does he need, well, is simply their difference, let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then subtract.

To represent a negavtive number in binary u need to ask me ;)
Answer:
Devante is 23 and Savannah is 32.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up a system of equations.
s - savannah's age
d - devante's age
s = d + 9
s + d = 53
Now we can substitute (d + 9) for s in the second equation.
(d + 9) + d = 53
2d + 9 = 53
2d = 46
<u>d = 23</u>
To find Savannah's age, we just add 9 to Devante's age. (plugging in 23 for d)
23 + 9 = 32
<u>s = 32</u>
