Answer~ A. y=3x-4
Explanation~ Look at the X column. Start with the first row, which is 5 in the x column and 11 in the y column. Looking back at the equation. As you can see, it has the same variables that are in the table. Replace the x with the 5 from the table.
*Remember to put the 5 in parenthesis; you must always do this when plugging in numbers into your equations*
If done correctly, your equation should now look like this:
y=3(5)-4
Following PEMDAS, the order you solve order of operations, you must first multiply, as Multiplication is before Subtraction. So, you must multiply the 5 and 3. 5×3=15, so, now your equation should look like:
y=15-4
Simply subtract 4 from 15, and you should get 11. Therefore,
y=11
Continue this process down through the table to double check your work.
I hope I helped! Sorry for the dang essay lol
