Question

Gracie's art box has 5 fewer crayons, c, than three times the number of markers, m. Function: c = 3m - 5 Complete the table to show how the number of crayons depends on the number of markers. Enter answers in order from top to bottom.

Answer 1

c = 19

c = 25

c = 31

Explanation:

The equation given c = 3m - 5 can be used to solve for all the three values of c.

Simply putting all the three values of m (8, 10, and 12) into the equation will give us the 3 values of c:

• When m = 8,

c = 3m - 5

c = 3(8) - 5 = 19

• When m = 10,

c = 3m - 5

c = 3(10) - 5 = 25

• When m = 12,

c = 3m - 5

c = 3(12) - 5 = 31
