I believe it's not a function because the input (x) 4 has two outputs(y), 2 and 8.
Well just substitute y (the first equation) into the second equation.
So
5x-4(5-3x)=-3
Then just solve the equation from there.
5x-20+12x=-3
17x=17
x=1
and if you need y, y=2
18/1
36/2
72/4
...and many more....
Just do 6 x 0.2 to reverse the division
So the answer is 1.2
I think
Answer:
# yellow = 20
# blue = 23
# red = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
let 'r' = # red marbles
let '4r' = # yellow marbles
let '3+4r' = # blue marbles
r + 4r + 3 + 4r = 48
9r + 3 = 48
9r = 45
r = 5
red = 5
yellow = 4(5) = 20
blue = 3+4(5) = 23
