Answer:

J = 2M and J + M = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Let John's age be J

Let Mary's age be M

Now we are given that John is twice as old as Mary

So, John's age = $J = 2M$

Now we are given that The sum of their ages is 52.

So, $J+M=52$

Thus the system of equations could be used to solve the problem is $J = 2M$ and $J+M=52$

Hence Option B is correct.

Answer:

Technician B

Step-by-step explanation:

It is very important that any car is taking for a test drive and a road test is carried out to check for any sort of problem with the transmission of the car or any leakages that may be found in the hydraulic circuits.

Technician B is very correct because when the hydraulic circuits is leaking, the front or forward clutch tends to slip thereby causing the shift for all forward gears to be delayed

Also,the sticking of the spool into the body of the valve can also cause the problem to occur as well.
