Answer:
24 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of Blake be x and the age of Heather by y then...
x=7+y
7+x+7+y=55
Notice we are adding additional 7s because the question states "in 7 years"
Simplify the second equation...
7+x+7+y=55
14+x+y=55
Subtract 21 from both sides
x+y=41
Solve using substitution (substitute 7+y for x since x = 7+y)
7+y+y=41
Combine like terms
2y+7=41
Subtract 7 from both sides
2y=34
Divide both sides by 2
y=17
x=7+17=24
Blake is 24 years old now
Divide top and bottom by four.
6/7 is the answer
Answer:
Mark’s method is correct, because even though it is impossible to deliver mail to 1.2 houses in a minute, 1.2 represents the unit rate of houses per minute.

Option E:
The value of m that makes the inequality true is 5.
Solution:
Given inequality is 3m + 10 < 30.
Let us first simplify the expression.
3m + 10 < 30
Subtract 10 from both side of the equation.
3m < 20 – – – – (1)
<u>To find the value of m that makes the inequality true:</u>
Option A: 20
Substitute m = 20 in (1),
⇒ 3(20) < 20
⇒ 60 < 20
It is not true because 60 is greater than 20.
Option B: 30
Substitute m = 30 in (1),
⇒ 3(30) < 20
⇒ 90 < 20
It is not true because 90 is greater than 20.
Option C: 8
Substitute m = 8 in (1),
⇒ 3(8) < 20
⇒ 24 < 20
It is not true because 24 is greater than 20.
Option D: 10
Substitute m = 10 in (1),
⇒ 3(30) < 20
⇒ 90 < 20
It is not true because 90 is greater than 20.
Option E: 5
Substitute m = 5 in (1),
⇒ 3(5) < 20
⇒ 15 < 20
It is true because 15 is less than 20.
Hence the value of m that makes the inequality true is 5.
Option E is the correct answer.
