true: y = 9 would give us a straight line because of two reasons:
a: we don’t know if x is rising
b: we don’t have an x in the equation
Answer:

40 comic books
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the Jill comic books.
Given:
Jill sold half of her comic books and then bought sixteen more. She now has 36.



Therefore the algebraic equation of the given statement.
--------(1)
Now we solve above equation for x.
Subtract by 16 both side of the equation 1.


Multiply by 2 both side of the above equation.


Therefore, Jill had 40 comic books.
It's because a tenth means that you've divided it by 10. So if it's 20, it means you're multiplying tenths by 20, leaving you with 2 wholes.
For example, you have 2 cakes and you cut each into 10 slices, the slices are each one tenth of the whole cake, and in total there are 20 tenths.
Answer: 10 (ten) is an even number
following 9 and preceding 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
After x=2, we see that the change in y over the change in x is positive since both variables increase with each other, so
is where the function is increasing.
