For example, in the equation...
y = 3x + 5
y is a dependent variable because its value depends on the value of x. The variable x is an independent variable.
this dosent even make sense that much so try to find a diffrent one thank you..
note: bye the way this is correct and i am going the wrong way i said it dosent make that much sense and yeah it does do just belive that this makes sense sorry about that and just forget that note at the top it is very very wrong ...
AN independent variable is the variable that the experimentor changes.
An independent variable is an input value that one can vary to obtain an output value which is dependent variable.
For example in equation y = 3x then x is independent input variable that produces an output y where y is the dependent variable, that depends on the value of x

If changes in one variable do not affect the outcome of another variable, then the second variable is independent. A variable that is not independent is dependent.
Independent variable is what you, the experimenter, change or enacts in order to do your experiment
An independent variable is when you do not control what happens In an experiment,however; a dependent variable is when you actually control the experiment,
It can, but need not, affect the outcome of the experiment variable.
When you do an experiment the variable you control is the independent variable, and the variable you measure is the dependent variable.
