So, you take the equation for y given, y=0.28x+5.92. Then you substitute the values for x in, like so: y=0.28(2)+5.92=6.42 y=0.28(5)+5.92=7.17 y=0.28(8)+5.92=7.92 So There's your table. Next: 7.88=0.28x+5.92 x=7, so the year when admission was approximately $7.88 is year 7. Next, 10.04=0.28x+5.92 x=<span>14.7142857143, which rounds to year 15. I hope this helps!</span>
