An electrician charges a flat fee for each job, plus an hourly rate for each hour he takes to complete the job. The total cost of the job can be modeled by the equations y = 50 + 65x. What does the independent variable represent in this situation?

The independent variable = x which represent the the number of hours taken to complete the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given function: y = 50 + 65x, x = Number of hours, y = Total cost of the job.

Here, total  cost of the job depends on the number of hours.

So the independent variable = x which represent the the number of hours taken to complete the job.

step-by-step explanation:

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
