"31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces"
Call the pieces a,b,c
a + b + c = 31
"second piece is twice as long as the first piece"
b = 2a
"third piece is one inch more than seven times the length of the first piece"
c = 1 + 7a
Ok, we have our equations, let's substitute the second and third into the first.
a + 2a + 1 + 7a = 31
10a + 1 = 31
10a = 30
a = 30/10 = 3
b = 2a = 6
c = 1 + 7a = 22
Check: 3 + 6 + 22 = 31, good
Answer: 3 inches, 6 inches, 22 inches
Cost for each ride:
bumper cars: $1.75
roller coaster: $2.75
giant slide: $1.25
ferris wheel: $2
A. $15 - price of each ride = $7.25
B. price of each ride x 2 = $15.50
No, you will be 50c short.
Hope this helps!!

Functions
- y = -x+11
- y = 2x^2-6x+4
- y = -7
Not functions
- x = 3
- x^2+y^2 = 81
- y^2 = -5x-12
=======================================================
Explanation:
A function is possible if and only if any given x input leads to exactly one y output.
For something like x^2+y^2 = 81, we can see that x = 0 leads to either y = 9 or y = -9. So this would <u>not</u> be a function. We would need x to pair with only y value to have it be a function.
We have the same thing going on with y^2 = -5x-12 as well.
For anything of the form x = k, where k is any real number, this is also not a function. We have one single input only and it leads to infinitely many outputs. So in a sense, this is even worse compared to the other examples.
-----------------
In summary, we have these three non-functions:
- x = 3
- x^2+y^2 = 81
- y^2 = -5x-12
Everything else is a function. You can use the vertical line test as a visual way to check.

c) 10
Step-by-step explanation:
you need to add the white and red marbles which would be 14.
then you subtract 14 by the amount of blue marbles.
