If |x|=3, x can be either 3 or -3
The correct answer is actually choice D.
12% aka 12 days it didn't rain
|DF| = |DE| + |EF|
|DF| = 9x -36
|DE| = 47
|EF| = 3x+10
Substitute:
9x - 39 = 47 + 3x + 10
9x - 39 = 3x + 57 |+39
9x = 3x + 96 |-3x
6x = 96 |:6
x = 16
Put the value of x to the equation |EF| = 3x + 10
|EF| = (3)(16) + 10 = 48 + 10 = 58
Answer: |EF| = 58
<span>This characteristic of non-functions was noticed by I-don't-know-who, and was codified in "The Vertical Line Test": Given the graph of a relation, if you can draw a vertical line that crosses the graph in more than one place, then the relation is not a function.</span>
