When only one variable is changed,and all others are kept the same.

Further Detail

To keep a test fair, you must only change one variable at a time as otherwise the other variable will affect the results. For example, when investigating if temperature of an acid affects the rate of a reaction, you must keep the concentration of the acid the same as this will also affect the rate.
