8 foot balls
18 basketballs
35 baseballs
23 or 24 softballs
The second one doesn't represent a function, because for some values of "x", you get two different values for "y" (which should not happen, if that were a function).
In every function, you must have a
single "y" value for each "x" in the domain.
__________
In order to see it better, you can trace a vertical line onto that graph.
If that line and the graph intersects in more than one point, then that graph doesn't represent a funcion.
Look into the attached picture and see. That vertical red line and the graph intersects in two distinct points. Therefore, it can't represent a function.
Any doubt? Please, comment below.
I hope it helps. :-)
Answer: tyyy
Step-by-step explanation: 8 + 2 = 10
a = 6, is your answer.

We will drop <span><span><span>a=2</span>a=2</span><span>a=2</span></span> from the solution set.
17. Therefore,
<span><span><span>a=6</span></span><span /></span>
4*3 = 12
36-12= 24
24/(9/3)= 24/3 = 8
15-8=7
The solution is 7!
