x - # of days 0 a. 7 b.
y - # of texts c. 75 d. 300


a. ?

b. ?

c. ?

d. ?
Answer
b. (2, 3, 5, 10, 13, 50, or 75.)

To solve this equation for y, we need to isolate y on one side.

First, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to cancel out the division:

y/3 * 3 = 2x * 3
y = 6x

Therefore, the solution for y is y = 6x.

To find the missing parts of the table, we need to analyze the given information.

We know that you make 50 texts every 2 days. This means that the number of texts you make is directly proportional to the number of days, with a constant ratio of 50 texts per 2 days.

a. For 7 days, we need to find the number of texts you make. Since every 2 days you make 50 texts, in 7 days you make (7/2) * 50 = 175 texts. Therefore, the missing value for a is 175.

b. We don't have enough information to determine the number of texts you make for an unspecified number of days. Therefore, the missing value for b cannot be determined.

c. For 0 days, you haven't made any texts, so the missing value for c is 0.

d. For 300 texts, we need to find the number of days it took to make that many texts. Since every 2 days you make 50 texts, the number of sets of 2 days it takes to reach 300 texts is 300/50 = 6 sets of 2 days. Therefore, it takes 6 * 2 = 12 days to make 300 texts. Therefore, the missing value for d is 12.

The completed table would be:

x - # of days 0 a. 7 b.
y - # of texts 0 75 d. 300

a. 175
b. cannot be determined
c. 0
d. 12
