Answer 1

In the function you've described:

- The independent variable is **x** (the input value).
- The dependent variable is **y** (the output value), which depends on the value of x through the rule given (double x and then add 3).

So, to summarize:

The independent variable is **x**.
The dependent variable is **y**.
