Question

Complete the table below with the number of books, y, that Sheila has read after various numbers of weeks, x. You can solve on paper and then enter your answer on Zearn.
y=2+6x

Weeks (x) Books (y)
1
5
9

Answer 1

To find the number of books Sheila has read after various weeks, we will use the equation \( y = 2 + 6x \) and substitute the values for \( x \).

1. For \( x = 1 \):
\[
y = 2 + 6(1) = 2 + 6 = 8
\]

2. For \( x = 5 \):
\[
y = 2 + 6(5) = 2 + 30 = 32
\]

3. For \( x = 9 \):
\[
y = 2 + 6(9) = 2 + 54 = 56
\]

Now we can fill in the table:

| Weeks (x) | Books (y) |
|-----------|-----------|
| 1 | 8 |
| 5 | 32 |
| 9 | 56 |

So, the completed table is:

- When \( x = 1 \), \( y = 8 \)
- When \( x = 5 \), \( y = 32 \)
- When \( x = 9 \), \( y = 56 \)
