Answer:
C.) The variable x represents the independent variable
Step-by-step explanation:
The variable "x" is the independent variable because that is the value that we can manipulate. We cannot manipulate the dependent variable because it is determined by the independent variable. In that case, "y" would be the dependent variable because its value is dependent on what "x" is.
A.) is incorrect because g(x) symbolizes the input of the variable "x" into the g function.
B.) is incorrect because "x" is the input.
D.) is incorrect because "x" is the input.
You can use Guess and Check and divide the 50 pounds into 2 parts. Multiply the price for both and do square root for the prices. Then at the 2 square roots and see if they add up to $6.40. If not, then divide the 50 pounds into something else, like 30 and 20 or something like that.
.1515/1 1.515/10 15.15/100 151.5/1000 1515/10000
multiply the numerator and the denominator by 10
your answer is 1515/10000
simplified is 303/2000
