To find the number of magazines Sheila has read after various numbers of weeks, we can use the formula given: \( y = 10 + 5x \).

Now, let's calculate \( y \) for the respective values of \( x \):

  1. For \( x = 2 \): \[ y = 10 + 5(2) = 10 + 10 = 20 \]

  2. For \( x = 4 \): \[ y = 10 + 5(4) = 10 + 20 = 30 \]

  3. For \( x = 8 \): \[ y = 10 + 5(8) = 10 + 40 = 50 \]

Now, we can complete the table:

| Weeks (x) | Magazines (y) | |-----------|----------------| | 2 | 20 | | 4 | 30 | | 8 | 50 |

So the completed table is as follows:

  • For 2 weeks, Sheila has read 20 magazines.
  • For 4 weeks, Sheila has read 30 magazines.
  • For 8 weeks, Sheila has read 50 magazines.
