Let's use synthetic division to solve this..
-1 ║ 2 | 4 | -2 | -8

PS: if anyone knows a better way to do a synthetic division chart please let me know.
Answers:
10) y= 1/2x - 2
11) y= 2x + 3
12) y= 2/3x - 4
I found this by using y=mx+ b
Find out how much you need for one person then multiply by 18 is one way you could do this..
4 divided by 24 = 0.166666666666667 x 18 = 3 litres of lemon-lime soda.
2 divided by 24 = 0.083333333333333 x 18 = 1.5 pints of servet
6 divided by 24 = 0.25 x 18 = 4.5 cups of ice.
Hope this helps!
Your teacher may have wanted you to (some how) use your 6x tables to work this out?!
