Answer 1

2.5 months

Explanation:

2 paintings in 1 month

4 paintings in 2 months

5 paintings in 2.5 months

Answer 2

The answer is t=2m+5

Explanation:

because she is painting 2 every month so 2*m and she started with 5 so you have to add the 5.

After 1 month she would have 7 paintings because 2*1=2 and add the 5.

After 2 months she would have 9 paintings becuase 2*2=4 and add the 5.

This would continue with each month.
