Exercise 14 Page 170

Substitute 9, 6, 0, and - 3 for y in the given linear function and then solve for x.

x 4 2 - 2 - 4
y 9 6 0 - 3
Practice makes perfect

We are given a linear function and asked to complete a table of values given some y-values.

x
y 9 6 0 - 3
To do it, we should substitute 9, 6, 0, and - 3 for y in the given function and then solve for x. Let's start with 9.
y=3/2x+3
9=3/2x+3
9-3=3/2x+3-3
6=3/2x
6* 2/3=3/2x* 2/3
6* 2/3=3/2* 2/3* x
6* 2/3=1* x
6* 2/3=x
6* 2/3=x
12/3=x
4=x
x=4
Now, let's do the same thing for the rest of the values.
x 4 2 - 2 - 4
y 9 6 0 - 3
