Let J represent Joel
Let K represent Kayla
Joel is twice as old as Kayla
J = 2K
In five years time, the sum of their ages is 55
(J + 5) + (K + 5) = 55
J + K + 10 = 55
J + K = 45
substitute J = 2K
2K + K = 45
3K = 45
K = 15
and J =2K
J = 2 * 15=30
Joel is 30 years old
Kayla is 15 years old

Which statement BEST describes why this set of ordered pairs is NOT a function?
UNO [17]

We have x = 4 repeating itself

If we graph the two points (4,1) and (4,20), then we see the relation fails the vertical line test.

The input x = 4 leads to more than one output y = 1 and y = 20 simultaneously.

This is why we don't have a function.
