Isaiah has h baseball cards. Miguel has 7 more baseball cards than Isaiah. If Miguel has k baseball cards, express k in terms of h.

• k = h + 7

• k = h - 7

• h = k - 7

• h = k + 7

Write an equation for each of the following. Then state the independent and dependent variables for each equation. Hannah took p minutes to jog around a park. Sofia took 12 minutes longer to jog around the park. If Sofia took t minutes to jog around the park, express t in terms of p.

• t = p + 12 Independent variable: t; Dependent variable: p

• t = p + 12 Independent variable: p; Dependent variable: t

• p = t + 12 Independent variable: p; Dependent variable: t

• p = t + 12 Independent variable: t; Dependent variable: p
