x is usually independent, but this question is wrong

bahrom7893 · Answer

You know what i mean, the value of dollar does not depend on the value of kuna, nor do i think the value of kuna depends on the value of dollar

bahrom7893 · Answer

It can't be 6x because 6x is not a variable, it's an expression

bahrom7893 · Answer

i'd say x, but I'm not sure about the answer, really

mertsj · Answer

x=6y
y is Luna, x is dollars
y is independent, x is dependent
