Answer:

Yes, this is a function with equation, y = n.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are the same number of bacteria (say, n) for two consecutive hours.

So, the number of bacteria is constant and it is independent of time.

Therefore, the graph of time (t, in hours) vs count of bacteria (n) will be a straight line parallel to the x-axis i.e. time axis.

So, the equation of this condition is given by, y = n and this is also a function.

X= -8
Y= -48

Explanation:
Since we know that 3x-24 is equal to y, we can plug that in for y in the equation 5x-y=8. That would look like 5x-(3x-24)=8. Distribute the -1 and you will get 5x-3x+24=8. Subtract 24 from both sides and get 2x=-16. Divide both by 2 and get x=-8. Than plug in -8 for y in one of the equations to get the y. You will get -48.

36z + 72 as a product of 2 factors

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

36(z + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the GCF or greatest common factor. The GCF is the largest factor that all the numbers share. Both 72 and 36 are divisible by 36. 72 ÷ 36 = 2 and 36 ÷ 36 = 1. So, the factoring would look like 36(1z + 2) or 36 (z + 2)
