Answer:

None of the equations represent the relationship in the table.

Step-by-step explanation:

To know which is the correct expression, we need to replace a value of x, calculate the value of y and compare the result with the values given in the table.

For the first option, y = 24x, we get:

If x = 24 then:

y = 24x

y = 24(24) = 576

Since the table shows that when x = 24, y = 1, and 1 and 576 are distinct, we can say that this is not the right answer.

For the second option, y = x - 23, we get:

If x = 6, then:

y = x - 23

y = 6 - 23 = -17

Since -17 and 4 are distinct, this not a correct answer.

We can see that the same happesn with the third option, y = x - 2, so:

If x = 24 then:

y = x - 2

y = 24 - 2 = 22

Since 1 and 22 are distinct, this not the right answer.

Therefore, none of the equations represent the relationship in the table.
