Juwan's age is 5 more than 2 times Peyton's age Peyton's age is 10years less than juwan age. What’s the SUM of the ages of Juwan and Peyton?

Which of the following is an example of a poetic pattern?

Options:
A) Assonance
B) Consanance
C) Alliteration

Answer 1

Examples of poetic patterns include assonance, consonance, and alliteration. The math problem can be solved by creating equations for Juwan and Peyton's ages and the sum of their ages is 40. All three options A, B, and C are correct examples of poetic patterns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Poetic Patterns and Figurative Language. The student's question pertains to examples of poetic patterns such as Assonance, Consonance, and Alliteration. An example of assonance is the repeated sound of the vowel 'a' in the phrase "The cat ran after the rat." Consonance can be seen in the repetition of the consonant 't' in "The little turtle turned tight twists." Alliteration is demonstrated with the 's' sound in "She sells seashells by the seashore."

Figurative language includes various forms such as Similes, which compare two different things using 'like' or 'as', e.g., "He is as brave as a lion." Metaphors make a direct comparison without 'like' or 'as', e.g., "Life is a rollercoaster." Personification gives human characteristics to non-human entities, e.g., "The wind whispered secrets through the trees." Hyperbole is an exaggeration for effect, e.g., "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse."

Additionally, Onomatopoeia refers to a word that imitates the natural sound of a thing, e.g., 'buzz' mimicking the sound of a bee. Imagery uses descriptive language to create pictures in the mind of the reader, e.g., "The sunset painted the sky with hues of pink and orange." Irony is when words express something contrary to truth or someone says the opposite of what they really feel or mean, often sarcastically or for humorous effect.

Regarding the math problem, if Peyton's age is 10 years less than Juwan's age and Juwan's age is 5 more than 2 times Peyton's age, we can set up the following equations:

1. Let P represent Peyton's age.
2. Let J represent Juwan's age.
3. J = 2P + 5
4. P = J - 10
5. Substituting P from equation 4 into equation 3 gives us J = 2(J - 10) + 5
6. Solving for J, we find that J = 25.
7. Then we can find P by substituting J into equation 4: P = 25 - 10 = 15.
8. Therefore, the sum of the ages of Juwan and Peyton is 25 + 15 = 40.

The correct option for the example of a poetic pattern is all three: A) Assonance, B) Consanance, and C) Alliteration.
