Color 2/8 of grid in green, 1/8 grid in red and 1/8 grid in blue
1. Eyeballing the data, the best fit will be pretty close to a line between the leftmost point and the rightmost point.
We estimate those points as (4,220) and (28,470)
The point point form for a line joining (a,b) and (c,d) is
(c-a)(y-b) = (d-b)(x-a)
(28 - 4)(y - 220) = (470 - 220)(x - 4)
24(y - 220) = 250(x-4)
24y - 5280 = 250x - 1000
24y = 250 x + 4280
y = (250/24) x+ (4280/24)
Approximately that's,
y = 10.4 x + 178
Answer: 4th choice, 10.4x + 180
2. For 48 wheelbarrows,
y = 10.4(48)+180 = 679.2
Answer: 679.2 liters of sand
(2x - 3y) (4x - y) = 8x² - 2xy - 12xy + 3y²
(2x - 3y) (4x - y) = 8x² -14xy + 3y²
---------------------------------
Answer:8x² -14xy + 3y²
