Answer:
Independent variable: amount of water
Dependent variable: growth of the plant
Step-by-step explanation:
In the statement "Julie notices that her plant grows one inch for every liter of water that it receives" it is implied that the growth of the plant is related proportionally to the amount of water it receives.
We know the amount of growth in function of the amount of water
The dependant variable, the result, is the growth of the plant.
Then, the independent variable is the amount of water, as it is the input to calculate the amount of growth.
Answer:
Dennis paid $82 and Connie paid $46.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up an equation by putting in variables, c representing how much Connie paid. Since we know that Dennis paid $36 more, we will also factor that in the equation.
c + c + 36 = 128
Where c + 36 represents the amount Dennis paid, and 128 represents the total amount paid as given in the question. We can start by adding like terms. 2c + 36 = 128
Now, we can subtract 36 from each side,
2c + 36 - 36 = 128 - 36
2c = 92
Divide each side by two,
2c/2 = 92/2
c = 46
Now, to make sure this is correct, let's substitute our c for 46 in our equation:
46 + 46 + 36 = 128
92 + 36 = 128
128 = 128
Therefore, our equation is correct, and Dennis paid $82 while Connie paid $46.
I am struggling thinking it is either the first or third one. Hope I narrowed it down a bit.
