Meg is 6 years older than Victor. Meg's age is 2 years less than five times Victor's age. The equations below model the relation

ship between Meg's age (m) and Victor's age (v):
m = v + 6
m = 5v − 2

Which is a possible correct method to find Meg's and Victor's ages?

A) Solve m + 6 = 5m − 2 to find the value of m.
B) Write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the x axis.
C) Solve v + 6 = 5v − 2 to find the value of v.
D) Write the points where the graphs of the equations intersect the y axis.

A. this is wrong, m and v have been switched
B. this is assuming that one of their ages is 0
C. correct, v+6=m=5v-2, or v+6=5v-2
D. this assumes the other person is 0 years old

Answer:  The correct option is

(C) Solve v + 6 = 5v − 2 to find the value of v.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Meg is 6 years older than Victor. Meg's age is 2 years less than five times Victor's age.

The following equations model the relationship between Meg's age (m) and Victor's age (v):

m = v + 6

m = 5v − 2

We are to select the possible correct method to find Meg's and Victor's age.

Since both the equations gives the value of m, so it is better to compare both the equations to solve the given system.

That is,

after comparing both the equations, we will get

v + 6 = 5v - 2.

From here, we get the value of v and then substituting this value in any one of the two equations, we will readily find the value of m.

Thus, option (C) is CORRECT.

If Rachel were to paint her living room alone, it would take 2 hours. Her sister Fran could do the job in 5 hours. How many hour
snow_tiger [21]

Rachel and her sister Fran together can paint the living room in \frac{10}{7} hours

Given that

Rachel can paint half of the living room in 1 hour

Fran can paint \frac{1}{5}th part of the living room in 1 hour

Let's assume together they paint the living room in x hours

⇒ together they can paint \frac{1}{x}th part of the living room in 1 hour

By proportions,

⇒\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{5}= \frac{1}{x} {using operation proportions and addition}

⇒\frac{7}{10}=\frac{1}{x}

⇒x=\frac{10}{7}        

⇒ together they can paint \frac{7}{10}th part of the living room in 1 hour

It means, Rachel and her sister Fran together can paint the living room in \frac{10}{7} hours

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the point (5,0) and is parallel to the line represe
zlopas [31]

Answer:

y=1.2x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

place in the points

0=1.2(5)+b

distrubutive property

0=6+b

subtract 6 on both sides

-6=b

y=1.2x-6

No correlation
A scatterplot is used to represent a correlation between two variables. There are two types of correlations: positive and negative. Variables that are positively correlated move in the same direction, while variables that are negatively correlated move in opposite directions.
