Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
- t = time (in hours) → this is the independent variable
- s = total area cleaned (in square feet) → this is the dependent variable (as the number of square feet cleaned depends on the number of hours worked)
Therefore, if the rate of cleaning is 8 1/4 square feet per hour, the relationship between s and t is:

5x -3 = 12
5x -3 + 3 = 12 + 3 [Add 3 to each side]
5x + 0 = 15 [Evaluate]
5x/5 = 15/5 [Divide each side by 5]
1x = 3 [Evaluate]
The answer I get is the number 3.
Answer:
before "however"
Step-by-step explanation:
However is a throw-in word and should be both preceded and superseded by a comma.
It would be the first one because it’s going up by a constant rate
