Hello from MrBillDoesMath

Answer:     + 4/7,   6 (13/14)

Discussion:

Let L be the larger of the two numbers and S the smaller of the two. Then the first sentence translates into this:


-6L - L = -4  =>

-7L = -4        =>          (divide both sides by -7)

L = - (-4)/(-7) = + 4/7       (*)


The second sentence translates to

2 (L + S) = 15  =>               (divide both sides by 2)

(L +S) = 15/2  =>                (subtract L from each side)

S = 15/2 - L = 15/2 - 4/7    (using (*) above)

So

S = 15*7/(2*7) - (4*2)/(7*2)       (combine over common denominator of 14)

S = 105/14 - 8/14 = 97/14 = 6 13/14

Something is crazy here!    While 2(L +S) = 15  -- check it out -- our larger number L ( =4/7) is actually smaller than the S number (6 13/14)!  Maybe I should have called them Y and X, respectively, as you suggested!

Thank you,

Mr. B

The sum of all interior angles in a polygon is
180(n - 2), where n = the number of sides in the polygon.

now, notice this figure above, it has 5 sides, namely is a PENTAgon, so the sum of all its interior angles is 180( 5 - 2), or 540, therefore

\bf (4x)~+~(3x+15)~~+~~(4x-25)~~+~~(3x+25)~~+~~(2x-3)=540
\\\\\\
16x+12=540\implies 16x=528\implies x=\cfrac{528}{16}\implies x=33

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

mints $0.96 per pound

chocolates $4.70 per pound

lollipops $0.07 each

cost of each items based on the amount item

mints $0.96*0.75= 0.72

chocolates $4.70*1.5=7.05

lollipops $0.07*15=1.05

total cost= 0.72+7.05+1.05

total cost=$8.82

Which of the relations below is not a function?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Relations B and E do not represent the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a function is a relation where each input or x-value of the X set has a unique y-value or output of the Y set.

In other words, we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

If we closely observe relation B, and E i.e.

  • B) {(3,4), (4,5), (3,6). (6,7)}
  • E) {(3,4), (4,5), (4,6)}

Relation 'B' IS NOT A FUNCTION

Relation B has duplicated or repeated inputs i.e. x = 3 appears twice times. we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

Thus, relation B is NOT a function.

Relation 'E' IS NOT A FUNCTION

Relation E has duplicated or repeated inputs i.e. x = 4 appears twice times. we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

Thus, relation B is NOT a function.

Therefore, relations B and E do not represent the function.
