7x + 7y = -21

48x - 8y = 136 This is where you find a common sum.

8(7x + 7y = -21) ex: 7 and 8

7(48x - 8y = 136)

56x + 56y = -168 Multiply it out

336x -56y = 952

392x = 784 Divide/Simplify

x = 2

Now substitute to find Y. I hope this helped!

A biologist tracked the growth of a strain of bacteria, as shown in the graph.

Answer:

Part A -> Function

Part B -> Function

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept

A relationship is a function only if there's a single y value corresponding to an x value. It can have the same y value for different x values but it must not have multiply y values for a single x value.

Below is an example

Function Not a Function

x y x y

1 5 1 5

2 6 2 7

3 5 1 6

Part A

Looking at the given graph, we see that the relationship has a single y value corresponding to an x value and so it is a function.

Part B

If there was the same number of bacteria for two consecutive hours it would mean the same y value for different x values. So, it would still remain a function.
