To find the number of books Jerry has read (y) after a certain number of weeks (x), we can use the formula given:

\[ y = 4 + 6x \]

Now, we can calculate the value of y for each week:

  1. For \( x = 2 \): \[ y = 4 + 6(2) = 4 + 12 = 16 \]

  2. For \( x = 6 \): \[ y = 4 + 6(6) = 4 + 36 = 40 \]

  3. For \( x = 10 \): \[ y = 4 + 6(10) = 4 + 60 = 64 \]

Now, we can fill in the table:

| Weeks (x) | Books (y) | |-----------|-----------| | 2 | 16 | | 6 | 40 | | 10 | 64 |

So the completed table is:

  • After 2 weeks, Jerry has read 16 books.
  • After 6 weeks, Jerry has read 40 books.
  • After 10 weeks, Jerry has read 64 books.
