X is the short piece
(3•x-1)+x=31
4x=31+1
X=32/4=8
Short piece is 8
Long piece is 3•8-1=23
Check 8+23=31 ✔️
6x-5=3x+4
+5 +5
6x=3x+9
-3x -3x
3x=9
(divide both sides by 3)
x=3
Answer is $45
Step-by-step explanation: because 60/4 = 15 and 15 x 3 = 45, Ryan makes $45
Hope this helped
Definition 1: A relation is any subset of a Cartesian product. For instance, a subset of
, called a "binary relation from A to B," is a collection of ordered pairs (a,b) with first components from A and second components from B, and, in particular, a subset of
is called a "relation on A."
Definition 2: A function is a relation that associates each element x of a set X to a single element y of another set Y (possibly the same set). A function is uniquely represented by its graph which is the set of all ordered pairs (x, f (x)).
From these definitions you can see that every function is a relation from X to Y, but not via versa (because you can consider relation
- here for one x exist two y).
Answer: Correct choice is B.
