Answer: The dependent variable depends on another variable for its value. For example, if y = 2x, setting x = 1 forces y= 2.; setting x = 10, forces y =20. There are no other possibilities for y once x ids chosen. So y is the dependent variable and x is the independent one. You can pick values for the independent variable (x) but no so for the dependent one.

From point A, draw a line segment at an angle to the given line, and about the same length. The exact length is not important. Set the compasses on A, and set its width to a bit less than one fifth of the length of the new line. Step the compasses along the line, marking off 5 arcs. Label the last one C. With the compasses' width set to CB, draw an arc from A just below it. With the compasses' width set to AC, draw an arc from B crossing the one drawn in step 4. This intersection is point D. Draw a line from D to B. Using the same compasses' width as used to step along AC, step the compasses from D along DB making 4 new arcs across the line. Draw lines between the corresponding points along AC and DB. Done. The lines divide the given line segment AB in to 5 congruent parts.
<u>Answer:</u>
The answer is D : 4.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<em>=2x-3>11-5x</em>
<em>=2x-3+5x>11</em>
<em>=7x-3>11</em>
<em>=7x>11+3</em>
<em>=7x>14</em>
<em>=7x/7>14/7</em>
<em>=x>2</em>
<em />
<em />
<em>By simplifying the problem, you can see that "x" </em><em><u>must</u></em><em> be greater than 2. Therefore, eliminating all other possible answers that are shown, but 4. </em>
