You need to d to one side of the equation by itself and them use PEMDAS to solve your answer
First set up a linear equation and using the x and y values in the table see if it solves.
It doesn't solve so we know it isn't linear. ( I won't show all those steps because they aren't needed.)
Using the quadratic formula y = ax^2 +bx +c
Build a set of 3 equations from the table:
C is the Y intercept ( when X is 0), this is shown in the table as 6
Now we have y = ax^2 + bx + 6
-2.4 =4a-2b +6
1.4 = a-b +6
Rewrite the equations
a=b/2 -2.1
1.4 = b/2-2.1 +6
b = 5
a = 5/2 -2.1 = 0.4
replace the letters to get y = 0.4x^2 + 5x +6

6 pachages
each pcage has 30
6*30=180 total
17 left over
how many used
used=total-left over
used=180-17
used=163
16. xy is 2 digit number
multiplules of 10 (whole multipules) always end with 0 so y=0
and has 3 as one of its factors
factors of 3 is 3,6,9,12
30,60,90 is answer
17.
30 in 9 parks
30 times 9
30=10 times 3
3*10*9
group the 3 and 9
10*(3*9)
3*9=27
10*(27)
270
15. 163
16. 30,60,90
17. see above, 270
