Answer:
(D) 
Step-by-step explanation:
One could run this on a computer and verify the best fit through brute force. The more elegant way is, as usual, to think: What are special values of x for an exponential function? Zero, for starters - anything to the power of zero is 1. The function value for x=0 in the table is 10. Which choices A through D are close to 10 for x=0? Well, (C) and (D), the rest is too far. Next, what is the function value for the next easy one, x=1? The table says 30. Which of (C) and (D) is close to 30 for x = 1. It turns out we can safely exclude (C) because 10.84*1.77 is about 19 and that's way too far from 30. Let's check (D): 8.46*3.51=29.7 - that's quite close. Since there is no other candidate left, I bet my money on (D). Feel free to verify closeness for the other values of x if you are unconvinced yet.

Answer:
5x - 2y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x - (-7x) = -2x + 7x = 5x
y - 3y = -2y
0 - 2 = -2
