Hello there!
So the equation I would use for this word problem is 3(s+5)=45.
3s+15=45
-15 -15
__________
3s=30
Divide 3 from both sides.
s ends up equaling 1.
Each stuffed animal elephant cost $10
40/11 = 3.63
hope this helps
44because when you do the math it came out to that
It's not a function because the x value repeated but wasn't accompanied by the same y value . there is (-2,2) and (-2,14) but if they had the same y value like (-2,2) and (-2,2) or (-2,14) and (-2,14) the table would represent a function. If you still dont understand I'll be more than happy to elaborate :)
