Which table can be created using the equation below? –2 + 4x = y A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entrie

Pachacha [2.7K]

The correct answer is C. A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries negative 5, 0, 3. Column 2 is labeled y with entries negative 18, negative 2, 10.

Explanation:

The purpose of an equation is to show the equivalence between two mathematical expressions. This implies in the equation "–2 + 4x = y" the value of y should always be the same that -2 + 4x. Additionally, if a table is created with different values of x and y the equivalence should always be true. This occurs only in the third option.

x y

5 -18

0 -2

3 10

First row:

-2 + 4 (5) = y (5 is the value of x which is first multyply by 4)

-2 + 20 = -18 (value of y in the table)

Second row:

-2 + 4 (0) y

-2 + 0 = -2

Third row:

-2 + 4 (3) = y
