They can carry 80 containers each
160,000 / 2,000 = 80
The independent variable is the cost of the skateboard, c.
The dependent variable would be the total cost, t.
The best way to understand this is that the cost of the skateboard from the company is not going to change based on a sales tax rate., But the overall total cost could change depending on what the sales tax rates are.
The total cost would be dependent upon the sales tax rate.
Hey there!
It looks like we're factoring.
I always like to think of factoring as the opposite of the distributive property, and you'll see why.
First, we have to <em>factor</em> out a common <em>factor</em> from 21p and 35q, which we'll use as 7.
7 times 3p = 21p and 7 times 5q = 35q
Using our distributive property which is defined as:
a(b+c) = ab+ac we have:
7(3p + 5q)
Multiply it out and you'll get 21p and 35q.
Hope this helps!
