The answer is D. To help find the answer, you can remember an easy rule. The rule is if you're subtracting a positive number from a negative number, it will always be negative thus eliminating any answers that are positive.
Let us suppose missing term is y
so it becomes - ( x-1) + 5 = 2 ( x+3) - y
let us now try solving it for x ( in terms of y )
-x + 1 + 5 = = 2x + 6 - y
-x + 6 = 2x + 6 -y
6 + y = 2x + 6 +x
y = 3x
y / 3 = x
but x is given to be infinite . let us try placing y= the given options
x= x/3 which is not possible
x= 3x/3 which is giving valid statement
x= 1/3 which is a finite value
x= 5/3 again a finite value
so it is only y= 3x which could be the answer
Answer : option second that is 3x

Answer: The dependent variable depends on another variable for its value. For example, if y = 2x, setting x = 1 forces y= 2.; setting x = 10, forces y =20. There are no other possibilities for y once x ids chosen. So y is the dependent variable and x is the independent one. You can pick values for the independent variable (x) but no so for the dependent one.

Answer:
8/9 (simplified)
Step-by-step explanation:
Total marbles = 18
Total of marbles <em>not</em> white = 16
Numerator = 16 / Denominator = 18
= 16/18
= 8/9 (simplified)
