Answer 1

Answer:

C) The variable Y could be the price of the wool used to make mittens.

D) The variable X could be consumers income.

Explanation:

quantity supplied = 50 + 1/2X - 5Y  -24Z

In this equation if X increases, then the quantity supplied increases. Therefore X can either be the product's price or consumer income.

In this equation if Y or Z increase, then the quantity supplied decreases. Therefore Y or Z are production costs, either labor or materials.
