Question

An individual is hosting a cookout for the kick ball team. The individual wants to have two hot dogs for each guest, and 6 extra hot logs in case some teammates bring friends. Solve for the dependent variable (y)if the independent variable is 10 1. У=30 2. У=26

Answer 1

Option 2) y = 26

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The individual wants to have two hot dogs for each guest, and 6 extra hot logs in case some teammates bring friends.

Thus, the dependent variable is the number of hot dogs.

`\text{y: Number of hot dogs}`

The independent variable is the number of teammates.

`\text{x: Number of teammates}}`

Thus, the linear relation between the dependent and the independent variable is given as:

`y(x) = 2x + 6`

We have to find the value of dependent variable when independent variable is 10

For x = 10

`y(10) = 2(10) + 6 = 26`

Thus, the correct answer is

Option 2) y = 26
