Answer:

  • chocolate: 6 pounds
  • jelly: 4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of chocolate in the mix. Then the total price of 10 pounds of mix is ...

  10x +5(10 -x) = 80

  5x +50 = 80

  5x = 30

  x = 6 . . . . . . . . pounds of chocolate

  10 -x = 4 . . . . . pounds of jelly candy

6 pounds of chocolate and 4 pounds of jelly should be used to make the mixture.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

D


Step-by-step explanation:

For it to be a function, every x value must have 1 unique y value ONLY.


In option A, you can see that the x value of 1 has 2 y values, 1 & 5. So it's not a function.


In option B, you can see that the x value of 0 has 2 y values, 0 & -4. Moreover, the x value of 4 also has 2 y values, 2 & -2. So it's not a function.


In option C, you can see that the x value of -2 has 2 y values, 4 & -4. This is not a function as well.


In option D, each x value has a unique y value that are different. So this is a function.


Answer is option D.
