"Two times the quantity of n less than 5"
OR
"Two times the quantity of 5 minus n"
ANSWER: u=4
2( 4u -9) = 14
8u -18 = 14
Add18 from both sides.
8u -18+18= 14+18
8u= 32
Divide both sides by 8.
8u/8= 32/8
u=4
The first three are dependent variables as the outcomes could potentially change due to any of these circumstances.
The last one is an independent variable due to the fact that rolling a die several times will not affect the next outcome.
