Can't see of getting your car repaired is given by c equals 75h + 90 where h is the number of hours in the labor the mechanic works on your car at 75 is the cost per hour mechanic charges and 90 is the cost for the parts needed to prepare your car identify the independent variable

1 answer

In the equation \( C = 75h + 90 \), where:

  • \( C \) represents the total cost of the car repair
  • \( h \) represents the number of hours the mechanic works on your car
  • 75 is the hourly rate charged by the mechanic
  • 90 is the fixed cost for parts needed for the repair

The independent variable is the variable that you can control or change freely. In this case, the independent variable is \( h \), the number of hours of labor that the mechanic works on your car. The cost \( C \) depends on the value of \( h \), making \( h \) the independent variable.
