Answer:
(8 * x) + 2x = 60
8x + 2x = 60
10x = 60
/10 /10
x = 6
8 is a constant that is being multiplied by an unknown number which we will name x. It is then being added to two times the unknown number(x), so we multiply x by 2, which is 2x. The final product will be 60, so in the equation it'll then equal 60.
We consider "a number" to be a variable that withholds an unknown value, which is x (or any other variable you prefer).
Answer:
35 - m
Step-by-step explanation:
A tank containing 35 gallons of water is leaking at a rate of gallon per minute.
"m" represents the number of minutes spent
Number of gallons left in the tank = initial amount of water present – leaked amount of water
Number of gallons of water left = 35 gallons – number of minutes spent rate of leakage.
Number of gallons of water left = 35 gallons – m minutes 1 gallons per minute
300 dollars would be the independent variable and 50 dollars a week is dependent
