Joel Robertson · Answer 1

50x = 360

x is the number of buses

x = 360/50 = > 36/5

x = 7.2

Independent Variable: x

Dependent Variable: 360 (or y)

Coefficient: 50 (b/c of 50x)

I don't see a constant term, sorry

Aliza Blackburn · Answer 2

So you would do 360/50

simplified you would get 36/5 this simplifies to about 7 and 1/5

so you would need 7 and 1/5 bus or 7.2 bus

but you can't have 1/5 buss so you would need to make the 1/5 into a 1 so

7+1=8

8 busses neede
