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.
MrB
A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
B) d + q = 40
Multiplying B) by -.10
B) -.10d -.10q = -4.0
Then adding this to A)
A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
.15q = 3.75
Quarters = 25
Therefore, dimes = 15
***************************************************
Double-Check
A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
A) .10 * 15 d + .25 * 25 = 7.75
A) 1.50 + 6.25 = 7.75
Correct!!
Answer:
Correct, as 4 is the only number repeating twice
Answer:
Length = 3 cm
Width = 1 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of rectangle be l and width of rectangle be w.
According to problem,
l = 3w {Length of rectangle is equal to triple the width}
And Perimeter,P = 8 cm
Since, P = 2 ( l + w )
or 8 = 2( l + w)
Plug l =3w in the above perimeter equation.
We get:
8 = 2( 3w + w)
8 = 2(4w)
8 = 8w
or w = 1 cm
Then length ,l = 3w =3 * 1 = 3 cm
Hence length of rectangle is 3cm and width of rectangle is 1cm.
