2(x+7) + x=20
(2)(x) + (2)(7) + x=20 Distribute
2x+14 + x =20
(2x+x) + (14) =20 Combine Like Terms
3x+14=20
- 14 -14 Subtract 14 from both sides
3x = 6
3x/3 6/3 Divide Both Sides by 3
x = 2
Let me know if you still don't understand
The two problems are almost identical: you have to set up a system, and then solve it.
In the first case, let and be, respectively, the number of girls and boys.
We know that (the number of girls in the Spanish Club is four more than twice the number of boys). Also, we know that (there are 61 students in total).
So, we have the system
We can use the first equation to substitute in the second
And then solve for :
For the second problem, let and be the number of pins knocked down by, respectively, Carrie and John. Just like before, we have the system
And you can solve it in the very same way we solved the previous one.

Answer:
The relation is a function.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order for the relation to be a function, every input must only have one output. Basically, you can't have 2 outputs for 1 input but you can have 2 inputs for 1 output. Looking at all of the points in the relation, we see that no input has multiple outputs, so the answer is yes, the relation is a function.
