The rule for this situation would be y = 45 + 5x
the only table that gives you the correct output of y when you plug x into the equation is the second table


hope this helped!

Ashley starts with 45 comics.

So in the first box:
x = 0, y = 45
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each month, she adds 5 comic books to her collection

x (+1), y (+5) (for each month).

First month.

x = 0
y = 45

Second month

x = 1
y = 45 (+5) = 50

Third month

x = 2
y = 50 (+5) = 55

etc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B) is your best choice, as for every month add (+1), the comic books increase by 5 respectively.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hope this helps
