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
If there's 21 spoons and 27 forks than there are 48 utensils, and the ratio of spoon to total stilis is 21/48, and if you reduce that it is 7/16. So your answer is B. 7/16.<span />

To solve for x you have to bring the 12 to the other side
How do we do this?
Well if you think about it this is technically what the equation shows

This means to isolate x you can multiply both sides by 12 and that will cancel
from the right side


can be further simplified to...
