X = 17
5 = x - 12
12 + 5 = x
17 = x
If there are 10 reams, and each ream is 32 ounces, then there is 320 ounces total im the case! Then, if you know that there are 16 ounces in a pound, then you can do 320/16, and get a total of 20 pounds in the case!
Hope this helped!
y^2 = x isn't a function because there is at least one value of x that produces multiple values of y. In fact, any x value greater than 0 yields two y values. If x = 0, then y = 0 is the only solution. ... Graphically, the equation fails the vertical line test, which is another way to determine that it is not a function.
