Answer:
Option 2) y = 26
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
The individual wants to have two hot dogs for each guest, and 6 extra hot logs in case some teammates bring friends.
Thus, the dependent variable is the number of hot dogs.
[tex]\text{y: Number of hot dogs}[/tex]
The independent variable is the number of teammates.
[tex]\text{x: Number of teammates}}[/tex]
Thus, the linear relation between the dependent and the independent variable is given as:
[tex]y(x) = 2x + 6[/tex]
We have to find the value of dependent variable when independent variable is 10
For x = 10
[tex]y(10) = 2(10) + 6 = 26[/tex]
Thus, the correct answer is
Option 2) y = 26
