Skyler's age is 72 and Kori's age is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: From the given details, form equations. Let the age of Skyler be x and that of Kori be 96 - x (since their sum is 96).
  • Step 2: Considering their ages 8 years ago, form equations.

⇒ (x - 8) = 4 (96 - x - 8)

⇒ (x - 8) = 4 (88 - x)

⇒ (x - 8) = 352 - 4x

⇒ 5x = 360

⇒ x = 72

  • Step 3: Calculate Kori's age

⇒ 96 - x = 24

Which relation describes a function?
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

{(-2, -3), (-3, -2), (2,3), (3, 2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a set of ordered pairs in which <u>no two pairs have the same first number</u>.

In other words, an <em>x</em> cannot be paired with two <em>y</em>'s.

A function takes an <em>x</em> and pairs it with one and only one <em>y</em>.

{(0,0), (0, 2), (2.0), (2, 2)} is not a function because it pairs 0 with both 0 and 2.

{(2,-1), (2, 1), (3,-1), (3, 1)} is not a function because it pairs 2 with both -1 and 1.

{(2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 2), (3, 3)} is not a function because it pairs 2 with both 2 and 3.
