Rule: The value of y is 32 more than the value of x. Equation: y=32+x.
Practice makes perfect
Let's find the pattern that describes the relation between the dependent variable y and the independent variable x. Note that if we add 32 to the value of x we get the value of y. We can include this information in the given table.

2+ 32
3+ 32
4+ 32

Now we want to write an equation to describe this relationship.
32more thanx=the value ofy
32+x=y
y= 32+x
The value of y is 32 more than the value of x. This is represented by the equation y=32+x.
