The answer is a dependent variable. A variable that changes in response to another variable is called a dependent variable.
Say you have a pair of equations like a+b=1 and 2a+3b=5. To solve using substitution you would set one equation against one variable (say a=1-b) then plug that into the other (2(1-b)+3b=5), then solve for the one variable you have there and then plug that result into the other equation (in this case b=3 and a=-2).
The dependent variable.
An independent variable is a variable which, in the context of the experiment or the observations, can affect the dependent variable but is not affected by it. By contrast, the dependent variable is affected by changes in the independent variable. It is quite possible that there is no independent variable, as such, and each variable affects the other.
A variable is a very important thing when you are doing an experiment. These are things that have an effect on the experiment. There are three categories of variables in math:The controlled variable: variable the never changesThe manipulated variable: variable that does changeThe responding variable: the result of the experiment
