Question

Complete the table using the given values of x and the equation 3x – y = 8. Show
your work.
x y
0
1
2
3
4

Answer 1

0:
3(0)-y=8
0-y=8
y=-8
1:
3(1)-y=8
3-y=8
y=-5
and so on and so forth

Answer 2

first rearrange the equation as follows:

3x - y = 8
3x - 8 = y

Answer 3

or, you could put 3x-7=8 into standard form (3x-8=y) and for 0, use the y intercept (-8) and add 3 to the previous y value because it is the slope.

Answer 4

now substitute the given values of x one by one and get the corresponding values of y...

eg first value of x is 0
so 3(0) - 8 = y ==> -8 = y

Answer 5

so you would have:
x y
0 -8
1 -5
2 -2
3 1
4 4
5 7
6 10
