1 gallon equals 16 cups. So, 3 gallons equal $3\cdot 16 = 48$ cups.

So, 48 cups cost $13.92, which means that one cup costs

$\dfrac{13.92}{48}=0.29$

For easy calculation first transpose the equation into the y-intercept form then create your table and plot the graph.

If 2x - 6y = 12
then -6y = 12 - 2x
6y = 2x - 12
y = [2 (x - 6)] /6
⇒ y = (x - 6) / 3

The table and graph are attached below.
