T=a*1.5+10

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Equation is:

T=a*1.5+10

Independent variable is a and dependent variable is T.

Dependent variable is the one that their value depends on the value of the independent variable.

An independent variable is the one that it's value, do not depend on other variable value.
