No it isn't because it wasn't an expression. An algebraic expression is a mathematical phrase that can contain ordinary numbers, variables (like x or y) and operators (like add,subtract,multiply, and divide)
Steps:
1. Draw a long box
2. Draw a horizontal line down the center of the box
3. Draw three equal sections in the top half ; shade in 1 segment
4. Draw 6 equal sections in the bottom half; shade in 2
The larger number is 30.
Set up your equation.
x + y = 25
The question tells us one number is 5 less than the other.
The equation now becomes
x -5 = 25
Add 5 to each side to isolate x.
x=30
Neither one of the slopes are going to be minus. It means you are travelling backwards in time, which is wonderful if you are a sci-fi fan, but not so good if you are Sharon. A and D has Sharon going from 70 to 0. That can't be happening so both are wrong.
Now you have to decide between B and C. The intersection point has Sharon going upwards until she is 20. She started out at 70. The graph has John starting at 70. That's not right.
So we've eliminated A,D and now C.
The answer must be B. They meet when Sharon is 90 and John is about 22.5 which is what it should be.
