x (cans of peach juice concentrate) y (bottles of lemon-lime soda)
2 6
3 9
4 12
5 15
Write an equation for the relationship between x and y. Simplify any fractions.
y=

Answer 1

Answer: y = 3x

Explanation:

In order to solve this particular question, we're first just going to look at the differences between the x and y values.

2 x 3 = 6

3 x 3 = 9

4 x 3 = 12

5 x 3 = 15

Therefore y = 3x
