Question

Make a table of values for the following equation:

y = 2x+5

Your table should look similar to this with the blanks filled in.

Show your work of how you got your answers for y:

x
y

Answer 1

Explanation:

Plug in anything for x and you will know what y is. For example if x is 0, y is 5. x is 12, y is 29.

A table would be like:

x - 0, 12, 10

y - 5, 29, 25

Answer 2

Explanation:

We choose arbitrary values for x and in each case calculate y = 2x + 5.

If x = 0, y = 5; if x = 3, y = 11, and so on.

How? when x = 3, y = 2(3) + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11.

The table, with rows and columns suitable to this problem, would look like:

x y

0 5

3 11

10 25

and so on
