X = Heather's age NOW
x - 2 = her age 2 years ago
x - 3 = her age 3 years ago

\frac{1}{2}(x-2)+\frac{1}{3}(x-3)=20

The Least Common Multiple of 2 and 3 is 6.  Multiply both sides by 6.

6\cdot\frac{1}{2}(x-2)+6\cdot\frac{1}{3}=6\cdot20 \\3(x-2)+2(x-3)=120 \\ 3x-6+2x-6=120 \\ 5x-12=120 \\ 5x=132 \\ x=\frac{132}{5}=26.4

How to find the edge length in volume?
vlada-n [284]
So we can take the volume of a cube formula and set it equal to the volume that we actually know: 64 centimeters cubed. So in order to find the length of the edge, which is a side, we need to cube root both sides of this equation. On the left-hand side, the cube root cancels all the cube.

I put a picture
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Yes, an arrow can be drawn from 10.3 so the relation is a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the diagram on the left is the domain(the inputs) and the diagram on the right is the range(the outputs), yes, an arrow can be drawn from 10.3 and the relation will be a function.

The only time something isn't a function is if two different outputs had the same input. However, it's okay for two different inputs to have the same output.

In this problem, 10.3 is an input. If you drew an arrow from 10.3 to one of the values on the right, 10.3 would end up sharing an output with another input. This is allowed, and the relation would be classified as a function.

However, if you drew multiple arrows from 10.3 to different values on the right, then the relation would no longer be a function because 10.3, a single input, would have multiple outputs.
