Jill, meg, and beth are sisters. jill is 2 years younger than meg. beth is half as old as meg. use the same variable to write three algebraic expressions based on this situation. tell what the variable represents and what each expression represents

Assignments

Let

Jill = J

Beth = B

Meg = M

Sounds like Beth is the youngest.

J = M - 2

B = 1/2 M

Explanation

B = 1/2 M. This means that Beth is 1/2 as old as Meg.

J = M - 2  This means that Jill is 2  years younger than Meg.

I don't think you can go to three statements. You need one more statement than you've given us.

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.
