Take an example: The salary per hour:
Assume x (variable) is the number of hours worked and assume THAT THE RATE PER HOUR IS $10, then:
If you work x hours at the hourly rate of$10, you will generate an income,
say, y that is equal the number of hours worked by the rate per hour, that is:
y = 10.x. The more hour(x) you work, the more income(y) you get.
Hence we created a relationship between y and x , or in English, between the earning and the number of hours worked.
Moreover y depends on x, if there is no x, there is no y and if x increases, y increases. However x is an INDEPENDENT variable because you can
give to x any number & y will follow
6/5 / x = 6
Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:
6/5 * 1/x = 6
Simplify:
6/5x = 6
Solve for x:
6/5 = 6x
Divide each side by 6:
x = 1/5
The answer is A. 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Find the volume of the box:</u>
- V = lwh
- V = 4 1/2 * 8 * 1/2 = 9/2 * 4 = 18 ft³
Correct choice is D
Answer: 11
6*2 = 12
5*2=10
10= x - 1
x = 11
