Complete the table below with the number of books, y, that Jenna has read after 3, 5, and 7 weeks. You can solve on paper and then enter your answer on Zearn.

y=5+5x

Weeks (x) Books (y)
3
5
7

1 answer

To complete the table using the equation \(y = 5 + 5x\), you simply substitute the value of \(x\) (the number of weeks) into the equation to find \(y\) (the number of books read).

  1. For \(x = 3\): \[ y = 5 + 5(3) = 5 + 15 = 20 \]

  2. For \(x = 5\): \[ y = 5 + 5(5) = 5 + 25 = 30 \]

  3. For \(x = 7\): \[ y = 5 + 5(7) = 5 + 35 = 40 \]

Now, filling in the table:

\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text{Weeks (x)} & \text{Books (y)} \ \hline 3 & 20 \ \hline 5 & 30 \ \hline 7 & 40 \ \hline \end{array} \]

So, the completed table is:

  • For 3 weeks (x=3), Jenna has read 20 books (y=20).
  • For 5 weeks (x=5), Jenna has read 30 books (y=30).
  • For 7 weeks (x=7), Jenna has read 40 books (y=40).
