Answer:

<u>150</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

So I will shorten Eric, and Bob's names as E, and B.

So the equations are this

B-E = B+E - 240, E as Eric, and B as Bob, and this E+B=9(E-B)

Move the variables and you get

-2E =- 240

Just divide them both by -2

and E=120

So when we know the value of E we can just plug it into the 1st question

120+B=9B+1080

Moves the Variables and numbers to the other side

8B=1200

1200/8= 150

B=150

There is Bob's weight

Which set of ordered pairs represents a function?
Mrac [35]
The second one because for every x value there is one and only one y value. If you plotted the points and graphed it, you would know it is not a function if it doesn't pass the vertical line test. Notice the same x values show up repeatedly in the other ordered pairs with different y values. Only one y value for every x value
