Answer:
The smaller number is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is
One number is 3 less than a second number. Twice the second number is 16 less than 4 times the first. Find the smaller of two numbers
Let
x and y the numbers
x=y-3 ----> equation A
2y=4x-16 ----> equation B
Substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y
2y=4(y-3)-16
2y=4y-12-16
4y-2y=12+16
2y=28
y=14
x=14-3=11

========================================
Explanation:
If x repeats itself, then we don't have a function. For instance, relation 2 has the x value -4 show up twice. That input leads to multiple outputs which is why we don't have a function. Relation 4 is a similar story (this time the input 'u' shows up twice).
Relations 1 and 3 don't have this issue, so they are functions.
Simplifying
2x + -3(3 * 0.6x + 2.7)
Multiply 3 * 0.6
2x + -3(1.8x + 2.7)
Reorder the terms:
2x + -3(2.7 + 1.8x)
2x + (2.7 * -3 + 1.8x * -3)
2x + (-8.1 + -5.4x)
Reorder the terms:
-8.1 + 2x + -5.4x
Combine like terms: 2x + -5.4x = -3.4x
-8.1 + -3.4x
Bob is 24. Jake is 14.
24 + 14 = 38.
4 + (27 - 10)
4 increased by the difference of 27 and 10
