David has two younger sisters, jane and sally. jane is 2 years older than sally and david is 4 times older than jane. sally is z years old.

part a

write two equivalent expressions that represent david’s age in terms of sally’s age, z, and explain how the two expressions relate to one another.

part b

which expression is more useful? why?

2+z(4) and 4z+2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first one is more useful because it has everything in order. How much Jane is older than Sally then, how many times David is older than Jane.

(Hope it's right.)

d

step-by-step explanation:

by observation, we can see that the the graph is simply the graph of y = |x| that has been shifted 4 units downwards and 3 units to the left.

we can recognize in choice d :

y = | x + 3 |   - 4 (rewriting in general form)

y = | x - (- 3) |   - 4

the "-4 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 4 units in the negative y direction

the "-3 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 3 units in the negative x direction

this matches our observation of the graph described above.
