Use the equation y − 5 = x/3

Question

to fill in the missing values in the table below. (Type in numbers for your answers, do not spell the numbers out or it will count it wrong.)

x y

blank 1

-3 4

0 blank

6 blank

blank 8

Answer 1

To fill in the missing values in the table, we can substitute the given values of x into the equation y - 5 = x/3 and solve for y.

For the missing value of y when x is blank 1:
1 - 5 = x/3
-4 = x/3
x = -12
Therefore, when x is blank 1, y is -4.

For the missing value of x when x is -3:
y - 5 = -3/3
y - 5 = -1
y = 4
Therefore, when x is -3, y is 4.

For the missing value of y when x is 0:
0 - 5 = 0/3
-5 = 0
Therefore, when x is 0, y is -5.

For the missing value of x when y is blank 8:
y - 5 = x/3
8 - 5 = x/3
3 = x/3
3 * 3 = x
x = 9
Therefore, when y is blank 8, x is 9.

Therefore, the completed table is:

x y
-12 1
-3 4
0 -5
6 8
9 8
