HELP! Kaia says the graph does not represent a function. Is Kaia correct? Explain your reasoning.

Kaia is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kaia is incorrect because in order to determine if a graph represents a function or not you use the vertical line test. If a vertical line can pass through the curve/line/shape anywhere on the graph more than once the graph does not represent a function. If no vertical line intersects or goes through the graph more than once the graph then represents a function. From looking at the picture you attached you can see that when you draw a vertical line at any point on the graph it only intersects the curve/line/shape once. Therefore the graph represents a function and Kaia is incorrect.

Hope this helped! If so please mark brainliest! Let me know if you have any other questions :)

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
