Answer:

  • a = 22
  • b = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let a = the first number

Let b = the second number

Equations

a + b = 39

b = 1/2 * a + 6

Put the second equation into the first one

a + 1/2 * a +   6 = 39                  Simplify the left.

(3/2)a + 6 = 39                           Subtract 6 from both sides

(3/2)a + 6 - 6 = 39 - 6                Combine

(3/2)a = 33                                  Multiply both sides by 2

3a = 33*2

3a = 66                                       Divide both sides by 3

3a/3 = 66/3

a = 22

b = 1/2 a + 6

a = 22

b = 1/2 * 22 + 6

b = 11 + 6

b = 17

Check

22 + 17 = 39

If Included in the table, which ordered pair (-4,1) or (1,-4), would result in a relation that is no longer a function. Explain
Kruka [31]

Answer:

(-4,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ordered pair (-4,1) means that x = -4 and f(x) = 1

Ordered pair (1,-4) means that x = 1 and f(x) = -4

From the table, we can see that the function is already defined for x = -4, but it is not defined for x = 1. So, the point (1,-4) can be included into the function, but the point (-4,1) cannot.
