6. Which of the following problems can be solved using the equation
x - 9= 15?
F. Allison is 9 years younger than her
sister Pam. Allison is 15 years old.
What is x, Pam's age?
G. David's portion of the bill is $9 more
than Jaleel's portion of the bill. If
Jaleel pays $9, find x, the amount in
dollars that David pays.
H. The sum of two numbers is 15. If one
of the numbers is 9, what is x, the
other number?
I. Calvin owns 15 CDs. If he gave 9 of

to 12 gives a sum

F

Step-by-step explanation:

x-9=15 will equal to 24 so x=24

if Allison is 15 but she is 9 years younger then Pam, Pam is x, so all you have to do is count up from 15, so 15+9 which equals 24 Pam is 24 making F the right choice

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
