Which equation represents the pattern in the table below? Sal’s and Carrie’s Ages Sal 3 5 8 13 15 Carrie 7 9 12 17 19 (1 point) Responses s = c + 4 s
= c + 1 s = c + 2 s = c + 3 s = c + 4
To find the equation that represents the pattern in the table, we can look at the relationship between Sal's and Carrie's ages.
Looking at the table, we can see that Sal's age is always 4 years less than Carrie's age. So, we can represent this relationship with the equation:
s = c - 4
where s represents Sal's age and c represents Carrie's age.
Note that the equation you provided, s = c + 4, does not accurately represent the pattern in the table since Sal's age is always less than Carrie's age by 4 years.
To identify the equation that represents the pattern in the table, we need to find the relationship between the values of Sal's and Carrie's ages. Let's analyze the data:
Sal's Ages: 3, 5, 8, 13, 15
Carrie's Ages: 7, 9, 12, 17, 19
By comparing the values, we notice that Sal's age is always 4 years younger than Carrie's age. To express this relationship as an equation, we can represent Sal's age as 's' and Carrie's age as 'c'.
Since Sal's age is always 4 years younger than Carrie's, we can write the equation as:
s = c - 4
The answer is NOT s = c + 4, but rather s = c - 4.
