Answer:
The time t is the independent variable while the volume V is the dependent variable
Step-by-step explanation:
A variable is a parameter that changes.
We have two types namely dependent and independent variables.
A dependent variable is a variable which its value needs to be determined based on the value of another variable while and independent variable is a variable which its value independent of other parameters.
In our question, It takes 1 hour (t) to fill the water tank of volume (V) 750 m3.
The volume of the tank V changes as time changes. So the volume of the tank V is dependent on time, t.
So V is proportional to t
Since the volume of the tank is the variable that needs to be determined based on another variable-which is time,t- it is the dependent variable, while the time,t is the independent variable since its value is not determined based on other parameters.
Interesting think. So sorry if you get it wrong
70 + 130 = 200
This would be Abe’s one hour of work and the part
80 + 80 + 40 = 200
This would be Gabe’s two hours of work and the part
By definition, we have
So, we have to solve two different equations, depending of the possible range for the variable. We have to remember about these ranges when we decide to accept or discard the solutions:
Suppose that 
In this case, the absolute value doesn't do anything: the equation is
We are supposing 
, so we can accept this solution.
Now, suppose that 
. Now the sign of the expression is flipped by the absolute value, and the equation becomes
Again, the solution is coherent with the assumption, so we can accept this value as well.
