I mean...the number ends in a even number, you could go by 2's, or is that not what you mean. I can help you some other way if you could explain a bit more :)
7h+3s=27.95 subtract 7h from both sides
3s=27.95-7h divide both sides by 3
s=(27.95-7h)/3
Then we are told:
5h+4s=23.4, using s found above makes this equation become:
5h+4(27.95-7h)/3=23.4 multiply both sides by 3
15h+4(27.95-7h=70.2 perform indicated multiplication on left side
15h+111.8-28h=70.2 combine like terms on left side
-13h+111.8=70.2 subtract 111.8 from both sides
-13h=-41.6 divide both sides by -13
h=$3.20
time would be the independent variable as it doesnt depend on the distance. distance is dependant as you need a certain amount of time to get somewhere..
Answer: the graph increases from left to right, since the price goes up. If you were to actually graph this, the years would be on the bottom and the price would be on the left side, so since the price is going up, so is the graph. :)
