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
Hope this answer helps you! If it did, please mark it as the brainiest! I would really appreciate it! :)
7X-4=6X-4-X
7X-6X+X=0
2X=0
X=0
Zinc = 7/18
Divide 4.9 by 7 = 0.7
Multiply by 18 = 12.6
The answer is 12.6 lbs of alloy. Sorry if I'm wrong
