QuestionComplete the table for the given rule. Rule:
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
What is this asking?
Given the rule , we need to find the missing values in the table for the given values.
Watch out!
Don't mix up and !
Remember, we're solving for , not .
STEP 2
1. Solve for x when y = 4
2. Solve for x when y = 8
3. Solve for x when y = 5
STEP 3
Alright, let's **start** with our given rule: .
We know that in this case, our **y-value** is **4**.
Let's **plug it in**!
STEP 4
So, we have .
Now, we want to **isolate** that mischievous , so we'll **subtract 3** from *both* sides of the equation.
Remember, what we do to one side, we *must* do to the other to keep things balanced!
STEP 5
Boom! We found our **first x-value**: when .
STEP 6
Back to our trusty rule: .
This time, our **y-value** is **8**.
Let's **substitute** that in.
STEP 7
We get .
To **get x by itself**, we'll **subtract 3** from both sides.
STEP 8
Awesome! Our **second x-value** is when .
STEP 9
One more time with feeling!
Our rule is , and our **y-value** is **5**.
Let's **plug it in**!
STEP 10
So, .
We'll **subtract 3** from both sides to **isolate x**.
STEP 11
Fantastic! Our **final x-value** is when .
STEP 12
When , . When , . When , .
