The answer would be choice a they are both functions
Answer:
x = 7
y = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system;
y = 2x - 3
x + y = 18
1. Approach
The easiest way to solve this system of equations is to solve the second equation for the variable (y). Then add the systems, use algebra to solve for the value of (x), then substitute that value back into one of the original equations to solve for the value of (y). Another name for the method in use is the method of elimination, this is when a [erspm manipulates one of the equations in a system of the equation such that when they add the equations, one of the variables eliminatates. Thus, they can solve for the other variable and the backsolve for the value of the unknown variable.
2. Solve one of the equations for a variable
Manipulate the system such that each equation is solved for the same variable,
x + y = 18
Inverse operations,
x + y = 18
-18 -18
x + y - 18 = 0
-y -y
x - 18 = -y
3. Use elimination
Now substitute this back into the original system,
y = 2x - 3
-y = x - 18
Add the systems,
y = 2x - 3
-y = x - 18
_________
0 = 3x - 21
Inverse operations,
0 = 3x - 21
+21 +21
21 = 3x
/3 /3
7 = x
4. Find the value of the unknown variable
Backsovle to find the value of (y),
x + y = 18
Substitute,
7 + y = 18
Inverse operations,
7 + y = 18
-7 -7
y = 11
to get from 15 to 12 you subtract 3
to get from 12 to 17 you add 5
to get from 17 to 14 you subtract 3
to get from 14 to 19 you add 5
so, based on this pattern you can assume that you can get the next number by subtracting 3 from 19. so that means you'd do 19-3 and you would get 16 as your answer.
your answer is C.16
Hope this helps :)
You do not have to calculate "e". This is a mathematical constant similar to "pi" and has a value of 2.718281828459045...
Wikpedia has a good article about it.
