Step-by-step explanation:
Rectangle:
(4*2)+(5*2)
8+10 =18
Triangle:
5+4+3 =12
Both:

minus where the rectangle and triangle are together
30-3 = 17
Answer: No, the friend is correct. In any function, each input value can only lead to one output value. When you input 3 for the x-values, you would get two output values because 3 is included in both equations. To fix this, you need to have the 3 not included in one of the equations.
For example, you could say or because the input value of 3 would not be included twice.
If you look at the attached screenshot, you will see that if you keep your friend's function, inputting 3 will result in two outputs of 4 and -3, so therefore, cannot represent a piecewise function.
