Multiple values of y for a single value of x is a sure giveaway that this is NOT a function. Please review definitions of "function." A function would be represented if no x value has more than one y value associated with it.
B)40 because (4)*50/5 is (4)*10
Gabrielle's age is 3x (in which x is mikhail's age)
the sum is 56 so 3x+x=56
3x+x=56
4x=56
x=14
since x was mikhail's age, mikhail is 14 years old
The answer is 1:2. all you have to do is add the dots for example 4/5 would be 4:5
To start off, you want to make the equations. first, we will make x = chocolate candy and y=caramel candy since thats the order they come in the problem. we know she bought 20 pieces of candy, so we now know our first equation, x+y=20. next, if each chocolate candy costs $.50, that now makes x in our second equation .5x. the y will then be .1y. they then total up to equal $6.80, so our second equation is .5x+.1y=6.8. to then find x, subtract the y from the first equation to get x=20-y. then in the second equation, replace x with y and solve. you then get y=8, so we know britney has 8 caramels. now in the first equation, replace the y to get x+8=20. and now x=12
