Question

A house painter used the equation y = 6.2x to determine the number of gallons of paint, y, needed to paint a number of houses, x. Which table represents the equation?

Answer 1

(2,12.4) (5,31) (8,49.6)

Explanation:

Answer 2

(2,12.4) , (5,31), (8,49.6)

Explanation:

To Solve this problem, let substitute value of x from given table into equation y = 6.2x and determine value of y .

For x = 2

y = 6.2x

=> y = 6.2*2 = 12.4

__________________________________________

For x = 5

y = 6.2*5

=> y = 31

__________________________________________

For x = 8

y = 6.2*8

=> y = 49.6

__________________________________________

Thus, second table represent the equation.

(2,12.4) , (5,31), (8,49.6)
