Example Question #5 : Understand Independent And Dependent Variables: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Ee.C.9

Select the table of values that represent the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle - 11 m + 10 = n

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In the equation \displaystyle - 11 m + 10 = n\displaystyle {m} is the independent variable and \displaystyle {m} is the dependent variable. This means, as we manipulate \displaystyle {m}\displaystyle {n} will change.

Because we are given tables in our answer choices, we can plug in the given value for \displaystyle {m} from the table and use our equation from the question to see if that equals the value given for \displaystyle {n} in the table.

Let's start by testing values from the following table:

\displaystyle {-11(5)+10=-44}

\displaystyle {-55+10=-44}

\displaystyle {-45\neq -44}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {- 11 m + 10 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Next, let's test values from the following table:

\displaystyle {-11(8)+10=-78}

\displaystyle {-88+10=-78}

\displaystyle {-78=-78}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-11(9)+10=-178}

\displaystyle {-99+10=-178}

\displaystyle {-89\neq -178}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {- 11 m + 10 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\displaystyle {-11(8)+10=-78}

\displaystyle {-88+10=-78}

\displaystyle {-78=-78}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-11(12)+10=-122}

\displaystyle {-132+10=-122}

\displaystyle {-122=-122}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-11(15)+10=-144}

\displaystyle {-165+10=-144}

\displaystyle {-155\neq -144}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {- 11 m + 10 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\displaystyle {-11(2)+10=-12}

\displaystyle {-22+10=-12}

\displaystyle {-12=-12}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-11(4)+10=-34}

\displaystyle {-44+10=-34}

\displaystyle {-34=-34}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-11(10)+10=-100}

\displaystyle {-110+10=-100}

\displaystyle {-100=-100}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-11(12)+10=-122}

\displaystyle {-132+10=-122}

\displaystyle {-122=-122}

All of these values were correct for our equation; thus, this table is our correct answer.

Example Question #6 : Understand Independent And Dependent Variables: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Ee.C.9

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In the equation \displaystyle - 9 m - 11 = n\displaystyle {m} is the independent variable and \displaystyle {m} is the dependent variable. This means, as we manipulate \displaystyle {m}\displaystyle {n} will change.

Because we are given tables in our answer choices, we can plug in the given value for \displaystyle {m} from the table and use our equation from the question to see if that equals the value given for \displaystyle {n} in the table.

Let's start by testing values from the following table:

\displaystyle {-9(3)+-11=-37}

\displaystyle {-27+-11=-37}

\displaystyle {-38\neq -37}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {- 9 m - 11 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Next, let's test values from the following table:

\displaystyle {-9(6)-11=-65}

\displaystyle {-54-11=-65}

\displaystyle {-65=-65}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-9(14)-11=-274}

\displaystyle {-126-11=-274}

\displaystyle {-137\neq -274}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {- 9 m - 11 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\displaystyle {-9(9)-11=-92}

\displaystyle {-81-11=-92}

\displaystyle {-92=-92}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-9(11)-11=-110}

\displaystyle {-99-11=-110}

\displaystyle {-110=-110}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-9(15)-11=-135}

\displaystyle {-135-11=-135}

\displaystyle {-146\neq -135}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {- 9 m - 11 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\displaystyle {-9(9)-11=-92}

\displaystyle {-81-11=-92}

\displaystyle {-92=-92}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-9(10)-11=-101}

\displaystyle {-90-11=-101}

\displaystyle {-101=-101}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-9(15)-11=-146}

\displaystyle {-135-11=-146}

\displaystyle {-146=-146}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-9(16)-11=-155}

\displaystyle {-144+-11=-155}

\displaystyle {-155=-155}

All of these values were correct for our equation; thus, this table is our correct answer.

Select the table of values that represent the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle - 13 m + 18 = n

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In the equation \displaystyle - 13 m + 18 = n\displaystyle {m} is the independent variable and \displaystyle {m} is the dependent variable. This means, as we manipulate \displaystyle {m}\displaystyle {n} will change.

Because we are given tables in our answer choices, we can plug in the given value for \displaystyle {m} from the table and use our equation from the question to see if that equals the value given for \displaystyle {n} in the table.

Let's start by testing values from the following table:

\displaystyle {-13(1)+18=6}

\displaystyle {-13+18=6}

\displaystyle {5\neq 6}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {- 13 m + 18 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Next, let's test values from the following table:

\displaystyle {-13(0)+18=18}

\displaystyle {0+18=18}

\displaystyle {18=18}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-13(4)+18=-68}

\displaystyle {-52+18=-68}

\displaystyle {-34\neq -68}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {- 13 m + 18 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\displaystyle {-13(1)+18=5}

\displaystyle {-13+18=5}

\displaystyle {5=5}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-13(4)+18=-34}

\displaystyle {-52+18=-34}

\displaystyle {-34=-34}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-13(6)+18=-49}

\displaystyle {-78+18=-49}

\displaystyle {-60\neq -49}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {- 13 m + 18 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\displaystyle {-13(0)+18=18}

\displaystyle {0+18=18}

\displaystyle {18=18}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-13(7)+18=-73}

\displaystyle {-91+18=-73}

\displaystyle {-73=-73}

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In the equation \displaystyle 18 m - 19 = n\displaystyle {m} is the independent variable and \displaystyle {m} is the dependent variable. This means, as we manipulate \displaystyle {m}\displaystyle {n} will change.

Because we are given tables in our answer choices, we can plug in the given value for \displaystyle {m} from the table and use our equation from the question to see if that equals the value given for \displaystyle {n} in the table.

Let's start by testing values from the following table:

\displaystyle {18(1)+-19=0}

\displaystyle {18+-19=0}

\displaystyle {-1\neq 0}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {18 m - 19 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\displaystyle {18(11)-19=358}

\displaystyle {198-19=358}

\displaystyle {179\neq 358}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {18 m - 19 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\displaystyle {18(5)-19=71}

\displaystyle {90-19=71}

\displaystyle {71=71}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {18(11)-19=179}

\displaystyle {198-19=179}

\displaystyle {179=179}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {18(16)-19=280}

\displaystyle {288-19=280}

\displaystyle {269\neq 280}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {18 m - 19 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\displaystyle {18(2)-19=17}

\displaystyle {18(11)-19=179}

\displaystyle {198-19=179}

\displaystyle {179=179}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {18(15)-19=251}

Select the table of values that represent the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle 3 m - 1 = n

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In the equation \displaystyle 3 m - 1 = n\displaystyle {m} is the independent variable and \displaystyle {m} is the dependent variable. This means, as we manipulate \displaystyle {m}\displaystyle {n} will change.

Because we are given tables in our answer choices, we can plug in the given value for \displaystyle {m} from the table and use our equation from the question to see if that equals the value given for \displaystyle {n} in the table.

Let's start by testing values from the following table:

\displaystyle {3(8)+-1=24}

\displaystyle {24+-1=24}

\displaystyle {23\neq 24}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {3 m - 1 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Next, let's test values from the following table:

\displaystyle {3(5)-1=14}

\displaystyle {3(15)-1=88}

\displaystyle {45-1=88}

\displaystyle {44\neq 88}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {3 m - 1 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\displaystyle {3(12)-1=35}

\displaystyle {36-1=35}

\displaystyle {35=35}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {3(13)-1=38}

\displaystyle {39-1=38}

\displaystyle {38=38}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {3(18)-1=64}

\displaystyle {54-1=64}

\displaystyle {53\neq 64}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {3 m - 1 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\displaystyle {3(3)-1=8}

\displaystyle {9-1=8}

\displaystyle {8=8}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {3(6)-1=17}

\displaystyle {18-1=17}

\displaystyle {17=17}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {3(16)-1=47}

\displaystyle {48-1=47}

\displaystyle {47=47}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {3(18)-1=53}

\displaystyle {54+-1=53}

\displaystyle {53=53}

All of these values were correct for our equation; thus, this table is our correct answer.

In the equation \displaystyle m - 16 = n\displaystyle {m} is the independent variable and \displaystyle {m} is the dependent variable. This means, as we manipulate \displaystyle {m}\displaystyle {n} will change.

Because we are given tables in our answer choices, we can plug in the given value for \displaystyle {m} from the table and use our equation from the question to see if that equals the value given for \displaystyle {n} in the table.

Let's start by testing values from the following table:

\displaystyle {1(5)+-16=-10}

\displaystyle {5+-16=-10}

\displaystyle {-11\neq -10}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {m - 16 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Next, let's test values from the following table:

\displaystyle {1(5)-16=-11}

\displaystyle {5-16=-11}

\displaystyle {-11=-11}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {1(6)-16=-20}

\displaystyle {6-16=-20}

\displaystyle {-10\neq -20}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {m - 16 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\displaystyle {1(0)-16=-16}

\displaystyle {0-16=-16}

\displaystyle {-16=-16}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {1(7)-16=-9}

\displaystyle {7-16=-9}

\displaystyle {-9=-9}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {1(10)-16=5}

\displaystyle {10-16=5}

\displaystyle {-6\neq 5}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {m - 16 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\displaystyle {1(5)-16=-11}

\displaystyle {5-16=-11}

\displaystyle {-11=-11}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {1(14)-16=-2}

\displaystyle {14-16=-2}

\displaystyle {-2=-2}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {1(15)-16=-1}

\displaystyle {15-16=-1}

\displaystyle {-1=-1}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {1(18)-16=2}

\displaystyle {18+-16=2}

\displaystyle {2=2}

All of these values were correct for our equation; thus, this table is our correct answer.

Example Question #13 : Understand Independent And Dependent Variables: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Ee.C.9

Select the table of values that represent the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle 16 m + 19 = n

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In the equation \displaystyle 16 m + 19 = n\displaystyle {m} is the independent variable and \displaystyle {m} is the dependent variable. This means, as we manipulate \displaystyle {m}\displaystyle {n} will change.

Because we are given tables in our answer choices, we can plug in the given value for \displaystyle {m} from the table and use our equation from the question to see if that equals the value given for \displaystyle {n} in the table.

Let's start by testing values from the following table:

\displaystyle {16(1)+19=36}

\displaystyle {16+19=36}

\displaystyle {35\neq 36}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {16 m + 19 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Next, let's test values from the following table:

\displaystyle {16(5)+19=99}

\displaystyle {80+19=99}

\displaystyle {99=99}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {16(6)+19=230}

\displaystyle {96+19=230}

\displaystyle {115\neq 230}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {16 m + 19 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\displaystyle {16(10)+19=179}

\displaystyle {160+19=179}

\displaystyle {179=179}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {16(14)+19=243}

\displaystyle {224+19=243}

\displaystyle {243=243}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {16(17)+19=302}

\displaystyle {272+19=302}

\displaystyle {291\neq 302}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {16 m + 19 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\displaystyle {16(3)+19=67}

\displaystyle {48+19=67}

\displaystyle {67=67}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {16(4)+19=83}

\displaystyle {64+19=83}

\displaystyle {83=83}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {16(10)+19=179}

\displaystyle {160+19=179}

\displaystyle {179=179}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {16(16)+19=275}

\displaystyle {256+19=275}

\displaystyle {275=275}

All of these values were correct for our equation; thus, this table is our correct answer.

Example Question #1061 : Grade 6

Select the table of values that represent the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle - 16 m + 11 = n

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In the equation \displaystyle - 16 m + 11 = n\displaystyle {m} is the independent variable and \displaystyle {m} is the dependent variable. This means, as we manipulate \displaystyle {m}\displaystyle {n} will change.

Because we are given tables in our answer choices, we can plug in the given value for \displaystyle {m} from the table and use our equation from the question to see if that equals the value given for \displaystyle {n} in the table.

Let's start by testing values from the following table:

\displaystyle {-16(0)+11=12}

\displaystyle {0+11=12}

\displaystyle {11\neq 12}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {- 16 m + 11 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Next, let's test values from the following table:

\displaystyle {-16(3)+11=-37}

\displaystyle {-48+11=-37}

\displaystyle {-37=-37}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-16(5)+11=-138}

\displaystyle {-80+11=-138}

\displaystyle {-69\neq -138}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {- 16 m + 11 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\displaystyle {-16(1)+11=-5}

\displaystyle {-16+11=-5}

\displaystyle {-5=-5}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-16(8)+11=-117}

\displaystyle {-128+11=-117}

\displaystyle {-117=-117}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-16(11)+11=-154}

\displaystyle {-176+11=-154}

\displaystyle {-165\neq -154}

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \displaystyle {m} and \displaystyle {n} if \displaystyle {- 16 m + 11 = n} ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\displaystyle {-16(2)+11=-21}

\displaystyle {-32+11=-21}

\displaystyle {-21=-21}

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-16(7)+11=-101}

\displaystyle {-112+11=-101}

\displaystyle {-101=-101}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-16(11)+11=-165}

\displaystyle {-176+11=-165}

\displaystyle {-165=-165}

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\displaystyle {-16(15)+11=-229}

\displaystyle {-240+11=-229}

\displaystyle {-229=-229}

All of these values were correct for our equation; thus, this table is our correct answer.
