Answer:
1. b. The common difference is 0.39
2. no good answer (Zach's method is exponential; Victoria's is linear)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The differences in mileage are ...
24.39 -24 = 0.39
24.78 -24.39 = 0.39
25.17 -24.78 = 0.39
The common difference is 0.39.
____
2. Zach's monthly times are ...
10, 20, 40, 80
The differences are ...
10, 20, 40
The ratios are ...
20/10 = 40/20 = 80/40 = 2
Zach's times have a common ratio, so are exponential.
__
Victoria's monthly times are ...
35, 50, 65, 80
The differences are ...
15, 15, 15
Victoria's times have a common difference, so are linear.
__
The choices are ...
a. both exponential; common factor . . . . correct for Zach; not for Victoria
b. Zach's is linear (has equal factor) . . . incorrect
c. both exponential; common difference . . . incorrect
d. Victoria's is linear . . . . correct for Victoria
Choice D describes Victoria's method. Choice A is correct regarding Zach's method, but incorrect regarding Victoria's.
Choices B and C are not self-consistent, so are incorrect on their face.
There is no good choice.

Step-by-step explanation:
y - 8 = ⅗(x - 5)
y - 8 = ⅗x - 3

Answer:
x = -1
, y = -4
Step-by-step explanation by elimination:
Solve the following system:
{8 y - 5 x = -27 | (equation 1)
7 y - 8 x = -20 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{-(8 x) + 7 y = -20 | (equation 1)
-(5 x) + 8 y = -27 | (equation 2)
Subtract 5/8 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{-(8 x) + 7 y = -20 | (equation 1)
0 x+(29 y)/8 = (-29)/2 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 8/29:
{-(8 x) + 7 y = -20 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = -4 | (equation 2)
Subtract 7 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{-(8 x)+0 y = 8 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = -4 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by -8:
{x+0 y = -1 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = -4 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = -1
, y = -4
