Answer: 1st # n=35

2nd # n+2=37

Step-by-step explanation:

n= 1st #

n+2= 2nd #

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A function means that a graph cannot have repeating x values, so to test if something is a function we do the horizontal line test. You simply draw a vertical line and if the graph touches it twice it is not a function.

The graph below shows a system of equations: Draw a line labeled y equals minus x plus 5 by joining the ordered pairs 0, 5 and 5

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The x-coordinate of the solution is x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y=-x+5$ ------> equation A

$y=x-1$ ------> equation B

Solve the system of equations by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x

$x-1=-x+5$

$x+x=5+1$

$2x=6$

$x=3$

Find the value of y

$y=x-1$ ------> $y=3-1=2$

The solution of the system of equations is the point (3,2)

therefore

The x-coordinate of the solution is x=3
