equation · variable
- Identify the independent variable (x) and dependent variable (y)
- Find the constant unit rate (k = y ÷ x)
- Write the equation relating the two variables: y = kx (or y = x + c)
- equation (ecuación) — A mathematical sentence with an equals sign that shows two amounts are the same.
- variable (variable) — A letter that represents a quantity that can change, or vary.
- rate (tasa) — A fixed amount of one quantity for every one unit of the other quantity.
- represent (representar) — To show a relationship using a tool such as a table, a graph, or an equation.
- define the variables (definir las variables) — To state exactly what quantity each letter in an equation stands for.
- Writing the equation with addition — c = 24.95 + m — instead of multiplication. The fee is charged EVERY month, so the total is the rate times the number of months; always test the equation against a row of the table.
