Answer 1

(i) The equation or formula will be:

`S=B+2`

(ii) The height of sandip is, 70 inches.

Step-by-step explanation :

Let the height of sandip be, S inches and height of Brett be, B inches.

Sandip is 2 inches taller than Brett.

The equation or formula will be:

`S=B+2`

Given:

Height of Brett = 68 inches

Now we have to determine the height of sandip.

`S=B+2`

`S=68\text{ inches}+2`

`S=70\text{ inches}`

Thus, the height of sandip is, 70 inches.

Answer 2

i) S = B + 2

ii) Sandip is 70 inches tall ⇒ 3rd answer

Explanation:

- Sandip is 2 inches taller than Brett

- Let S be Sandip's height in inches and B be Brett's height in inches

- We need to write a formula represents the relation between S and B

i)

∵ Sandip is taller then Brett by two inches

- That mean the height of Sandip S is two inches more than the

height of Brett B

∴ S = B + 2

ii)

- If Brett is 68 inches tall we need to know how tall is sandip

∵ B = 68 inches

∵ S = B + 2

- Substitute the value of B in the equation

∴ S = 68 + 2 = 70 inches

* Sandip is 70 inches tall
