David has two younger sisters, jane and sally. jane is 2 years older than sally and david is 4 times older than jane. sally is z years old. part a write two equivalent expressions that represent david’s age in terms of sally’s age, z, and explain how the two expressions relate to one another. part b which expression is more useful? why?

From the problem, you can get this equation:
Jane is 2 years older than Sally
J=z+2
David is 4 times older than Jane.
D=4J

Write two equivalent expressions that represent David’s age in terms of Sally’s age, z, and explain how the two expressions relate to one another.Sally is z years old.
From the 2 equation above, you can get:
D=4J
D=4(z+2)
D=4z+8

D-8=4z
(D-8)/4=z
The two equivalent expression would be D=4z+8 and (D-8)/4=z

The expression that more usefull would be D=4z+8 if you want to determine David age.
