6xy is already in simplest form, unless a typo has occurred in your question.
Answer:
1. a. His new texting speed after one month is 2 + 1/2 = 2.5 characters per second.
b. After two months it will be 2 + (1/2) * 2 = 3 characters / second.
c. Answer is 2 + 1/2 * 3 = 3.5 characters/second/.
2. The answer is s = 1/2m + 2
3. To solve for m we write 8 = 1/2m + 2 → 6 = 1/2m → m = 12 months.
4. 10r + 4 = 8 → 10r = 4 → r = 0.4
5. The variable r represents the rate she must increase her texting speed by per month.
6. A scenario could be "Allison has 37 marbles in a jar. She took out 5 from the jar and wants to divide the remaining amount equally among her 8 friends. How many marbles does each friend get?".
