Example Question #22 : Understand Independent And Dependent Variables: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Ee.C.9

Select the table of values that represent the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle - 14 m - 16 = n\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & -44\\ \hline 5 & -172\\ \hline 7 & -228\\ \hline 13& -396\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & -44\\ \hline 5 & -86\\ \hline 7 & -114\\ \hline 13& -198\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 4 & -72\\ \hline 7 & -114\\ \hline 9 & -131\\ \hline 12& -174\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & -43\\ \hline 5 & -84\\ \hline 7 & -111\\ \hline 13& -194\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & -44\\ \hline 5 & -86\\ \hline 7 & -114\\ \hline 13& -198\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

Explanation:

In the equation \(\displaystyle - 14 m - 16 = n\)\(\displaystyle {m}\) is the independent variable and \(\displaystyle {m}\) is the dependent variable. This means, as we manipulate \(\displaystyle {m}\)\(\displaystyle {n}\) will change.

Because we are given tables in our answer choices, we can plug in the given value for \(\displaystyle {m}\) from the table and use our equation from the question to see if that equals the value given for \(\displaystyle {n}\) in the table.

Let's start by testing values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & -43\\ \hline 5 & -84\\ \hline 7 & -111\\ \hline 13& -194\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-14(2)+-16=-43}\)

\(\displaystyle {-28+-16=-43}\)

\(\displaystyle {-44\neq -43}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {- 14 m - 16 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Next, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & -16\\ \hline 11 & -340\\ \hline 14 & -424\\ \hline 16& -480\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-14(0)-16=-16}\)

\(\displaystyle {0-16=-16}\)

\(\displaystyle {-16=-16}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-14(11)-16=-340}\)

\(\displaystyle {-154-16=-340}\)

\(\displaystyle {-170\neq -340}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {- 14 m - 16 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 4 & -72\\ \hline 7 & -114\\ \hline 9 & -131\\ \hline 12& -174\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-14(4)-16=-72}\)

\(\displaystyle {-56-16=-72}\)

\(\displaystyle {-72=-72}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-14(7)-16=-114}\)

\(\displaystyle {-98-16=-114}\)

\(\displaystyle {-114=-114}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-14(9)-16=-131}\)

\(\displaystyle {-126-16=-131}\)

\(\displaystyle {-142\neq -131}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {- 14 m - 16 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & -44\\ \hline 6 & -100\\ \hline 7 & -114\\ \hline 14& -212\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-14(2)-16=-44}\)

\(\displaystyle {-28-16=-44}\)

\(\displaystyle {-44=-44}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-14(6)-16=-100}\)

\(\displaystyle {-84-16=-100}\)

\(\displaystyle {-100=-100}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-14(7)-16=-114}\)

\(\displaystyle {-98-16=-114}\)

\(\displaystyle {-114=-114}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-14(14)-16=-212}\)

\(\displaystyle {-196+-16=-212}\)

\(\displaystyle {-212=-212}\)

All of these values were correct for our equation; thus, this table is our correct answer.

Example Question #23 : Understand Independent And Dependent Variables: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Ee.C.9

Select the table of values that represent the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle -13 = n\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 3 & -13\\ \hline 9 & -13\\ \hline 10 & -13\\ \hline 16& -13\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 3 & -13\\ \hline 9 & -26\\ \hline 10 & -26\\ \hline 16& -26\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 1 & -13\\ \hline 6 & -13\\ \hline 14 & -2\\ \hline 17& -3\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 3 & -12\\ \hline 9 & -11\\ \hline 10 & -10\\ \hline 16& -9\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 3 & -13\\ \hline 9 & -13\\ \hline 10 & -13\\ \hline 16& -13\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

Explanation:

In the equation \(\displaystyle -13 = n\)\(\displaystyle {m}\) is the independent variable and \(\displaystyle {m}\) is the dependent variable. This means, as we manipulate \(\displaystyle {m}\)\(\displaystyle {n}\) will change.

Because we are given tables in our answer choices, we can plug in the given value for \(\displaystyle {m}\) from the table and use our equation from the question to see if that equals the value given for \(\displaystyle {n}\) in the table.

Let's start by testing values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 3 & -12\\ \hline 9 & -11\\ \hline 10 & -10\\ \hline 16& -9\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {0(3)+-13=-12}\)

\(\displaystyle {0+-13=-12}\)

\(\displaystyle {-13\neq -12}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {-13 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Next, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 4 & -13\\ \hline 5 & -26\\ \hline 8 & -26\\ \hline 13& -26\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {0(4)-13=-13}\)

\(\displaystyle {0-13=-13}\)

\(\displaystyle {-13=-13}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {0(5)-13=-26}\)

\(\displaystyle {0-13=-26}\)

\(\displaystyle {-13\neq -26}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {-13 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 1 & -13\\ \hline 6 & -13\\ \hline 14 & -2\\ \hline 17& -3\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {0(1)-13=-13}\)

\(\displaystyle {0-13=-13}\)

\(\displaystyle {-13=-13}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {0(6)-13=-13}\)

\(\displaystyle {0-13=-13}\)

\(\displaystyle {-13=-13}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {0(14)-13=-2}\)

\(\displaystyle {0-13=-2}\)

\(\displaystyle {-13\neq -2}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {-13 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 5 & -13\\ \hline 9 & -13\\ \hline 11 & -13\\ \hline 13& -13\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {0(5)-13=-13}\)

\(\displaystyle {0-13=-13}\)

\(\displaystyle {-13=-13}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {0(9)-13=-13}\)

\(\displaystyle {0-13=-13}\)

\(\displaystyle {-13=-13}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {0(11)-13=-13}\)

\(\displaystyle {0-13=-13}\)

\(\displaystyle {-13=-13}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {0(13)-13=-13}\)

\(\displaystyle {0+-13=-13}\)

\(\displaystyle {-13=-13}\)

All of these values were correct for our equation; thus, this table is our correct answer.

Example Question #24 : Understand Independent And Dependent Variables: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Ee.C.9

Select the table of values that represent the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle 14 m + 8 = n\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 8\\ \hline 6 & 184\\ \hline 12 & 352\\ \hline 19& 548\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 9\\ \hline 6 & 94\\ \hline 12 & 179\\ \hline 19& 278\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 8\\ \hline 6 & 92\\ \hline 12 & 176\\ \hline 19& 274\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 8\\ \hline 8 & 120\\ \hline 10 & 159\\ \hline 11& 172\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 8\\ \hline 6 & 92\\ \hline 12 & 176\\ \hline 19& 274\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

Explanation:

In the equation \(\displaystyle 14 m + 8 = n\)\(\displaystyle {m}\) is the independent variable and \(\displaystyle {m}\) is the dependent variable. This means, as we manipulate \(\displaystyle {m}\)\(\displaystyle {n}\) will change.

Because we are given tables in our answer choices, we can plug in the given value for \(\displaystyle {m}\) from the table and use our equation from the question to see if that equals the value given for \(\displaystyle {n}\) in the table.

Let's start by testing values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 9\\ \hline 6 & 94\\ \hline 12 & 179\\ \hline 19& 278\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {14(0)+8=9}\)

\(\displaystyle {0+8=9}\)

\(\displaystyle {8\neq 9}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {14 m + 8 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Next, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & 36\\ \hline 5 & 156\\ \hline 17 & 492\\ \hline 19& 548\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {14(2)+8=36}\)

\(\displaystyle {28+8=36}\)

\(\displaystyle {36=36}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {14(5)+8=156}\)

\(\displaystyle {70+8=156}\)

\(\displaystyle {78\neq 156}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {14 m + 8 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 8\\ \hline 8 & 120\\ \hline 10 & 159\\ \hline 11& 162\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {14(0)+8=8}\)

\(\displaystyle {0+8=8}\)

\(\displaystyle {8=8}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {14(8)+8=120}\)

\(\displaystyle {112+8=120}\)

\(\displaystyle {120=120}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {14(10)+8=159}\)

\(\displaystyle {140+8=159}\)

\(\displaystyle {148\neq 159}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {14 m + 8 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & 36\\ \hline 4 & 64\\ \hline 7 & 106\\ \hline 13& 190\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {14(2)+8=36}\)

\(\displaystyle {28+8=36}\)

\(\displaystyle {36=36}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {14(4)+8=64}\)

\(\displaystyle {56+8=64}\)

\(\displaystyle {64=64}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {14(7)+8=106}\)

\(\displaystyle {98+8=106}\)

\(\displaystyle {106=106}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {14(13)+8=190}\)

\(\displaystyle {182+8=190}\)

\(\displaystyle {190=190}\)

All of these values were correct for our equation; thus, this table is our correct answer.

Example Question #25 : Understand Independent And Dependent Variables: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Ee.C.9

Select the table of values that represent the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle - 9 m + 9 = n\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 9 & -72\\ \hline 15 & -252\\ \hline 16 & -270\\ \hline 19& -324\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 9 & -71\\ \hline 15 & -124\\ \hline 16 & -132\\ \hline 19& -158\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 9 & -72\\ \hline 15 & -126\\ \hline 16 & -135\\ \hline 19& -162\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 9\\ \hline 5 & -36\\ \hline 10 & -70\\ \hline 15& -116\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 9 & -72\\ \hline 15 & -126\\ \hline 16 & -135\\ \hline 19& -162\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

Explanation:

In the equation \(\displaystyle - 9 m + 9 = n\)\(\displaystyle {m}\) is the independent variable and \(\displaystyle {m}\) is the dependent variable. This means, as we manipulate \(\displaystyle {m}\)\(\displaystyle {n}\) will change.

Because we are given tables in our answer choices, we can plug in the given value for \(\displaystyle {m}\) from the table and use our equation from the question to see if that equals the value given for \(\displaystyle {n}\) in the table.

Let's start by testing values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {-9(9)+9=-71}\)

\(\displaystyle {-81+9=-71}\)

\(\displaystyle {-72\neq -71}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {- 9 m + 9 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Next, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & -9\\ \hline 9 & -144\\ \hline 10 & -162\\ \hline 14& -234\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-9(2)+9=-9}\)

\(\displaystyle {-18+9=-9}\)

\(\displaystyle {-9=-9}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-9(9)+9=-144}\)

\(\displaystyle {-81+9=-144}\)

\(\displaystyle {-72\neq -144}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {- 9 m + 9 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 9\\ \hline 5 & -36\\ \hline 10 & -70\\ \hline 15& -126\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-9(0)+9=9}\)

\(\displaystyle {0+9=9}\)

\(\displaystyle {9=9}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-9(5)+9=-36}\)

\(\displaystyle {-45+9=-36}\)

\(\displaystyle {-36=-36}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-9(10)+9=-70}\)

\(\displaystyle {-90+9=-70}\)

\(\displaystyle {-81\neq -70}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {- 9 m + 9 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & -9\\ \hline 5 & -36\\ \hline 10 & -81\\ \hline 19& -162\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-18+9=-9}\)

\(\displaystyle {-9=-9}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-9(5)+9=-36}\)

\(\displaystyle {-45+9=-36}\)

\(\displaystyle {-36=-36}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-9(10)+9=-81}\)

\(\displaystyle {-90+9=-81}\)

\(\displaystyle {-81=-81}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-9(19)+9=-162}\)

\(\displaystyle {-171+9=-162}\)

\(\displaystyle {-162=-162}\)

All of these values were correct for our equation; thus, this table is our correct answer.

Example Question #26 : Understand Independent And Dependent Variables: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Ee.C.9

Select the table of values that represent the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle - 2 m + 11 = n\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 3 & 5\\ \hline 5 & 1\\ \hline 12 & -2\\ \hline 15& -9\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 5 & 1\\ \hline 13 & -30\\ \hline 16 & -42\\ \hline 18& -50\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 5 & 2\\ \hline 13 & -13\\ \hline 16 & -18\\ \hline 18& -21\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 5 & 1\\ \hline 13 & -15\\ \hline 16 & -21\\ \hline 18& -25\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 5 & 1\\ \hline 13 & -15\\ \hline 16 & -21\\ \hline 18& -25\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

Explanation:

In the equation \(\displaystyle - 2 m + 11 = n\)\(\displaystyle {m}\) is the independent variable and \(\displaystyle {m}\) is the dependent variable. This means, as we manipulate \(\displaystyle {m}\)\(\displaystyle {n}\) will change.

Because we are given tables in our answer choices, we can plug in the given value for \(\displaystyle {m}\) from the table and use our equation from the question to see if that equals the value given for \(\displaystyle {n}\) in the table.

Let's start by testing values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 5 & 2\\ \hline 13 & -13\\ \hline 16 & -18\\ \hline 18& -21\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-2(5)+11=2}\)

\(\displaystyle {-10+11=2}\)

\(\displaystyle {1\neq 2}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {- 2 m + 11 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Next, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & 7\\ \hline 7 & -6\\ \hline 10 & -18\\ \hline 15& -38\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-2(2)+11=7}\)

\(\displaystyle {-4+11=7}\)

\(\displaystyle {7=7}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-2(7)+11=-6}\)

\(\displaystyle {-14+11=-6}\)

\(\displaystyle {-3\neq -6}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {- 2 m + 11 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 3 & 5\\ \hline 5 & 1\\ \hline 12 & -2\\ \hline 15& -19\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-2(3)+11=5}\)

\(\displaystyle {-6+11=5}\)

\(\displaystyle {5=5}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-2(5)+11=1}\)

\(\displaystyle {-10+11=1}\)

\(\displaystyle {1=1}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-2(12)+11=-2}\)

\(\displaystyle {-24+11=-2}\)

\(\displaystyle {-13\neq -2}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {- 2 m + 11 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & 7\\ \hline 9 & -7\\ \hline 15 & -19\\ \hline 17& -23\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-2(2)+11=7}\)

\(\displaystyle {-4+11=7}\)

\(\displaystyle {7=7}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-2(9)+11=-7}\)

\(\displaystyle {-18+11=-7}\)

\(\displaystyle {-7=-7}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-2(15)+11=-19}\)

\(\displaystyle {-30+11=-19}\)

\(\displaystyle {-19=-19}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-2(17)+11=-23}\)

\(\displaystyle {-34+11=-23}\)

\(\displaystyle {-23=-23}\)

All of these values were correct for our equation; thus, this table is our correct answer.

Example Question #27 : Understand Independent And Dependent Variables: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Ee.C.9

Select the table of values that represent the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle 2 m + 12 = n\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 12\\ \hline 15 & 42\\ \hline 17 & 46\\ \hline 18& 48\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 12\\ \hline 15 & 84\\ \hline 17 & 92\\ \hline 18& 96\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 3 & 18\\ \hline 11 & 34\\ \hline 15 & 53\\ \hline 18& 58\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 13\\ \hline 15 & 44\\ \hline 17 & 49\\ \hline 18& 52\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 12\\ \hline 15 & 42\\ \hline 17 & 46\\ \hline 18& 48\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

Explanation:

In the equation \(\displaystyle 2 m + 12 = n\)\(\displaystyle {m}\) is the independent variable and \(\displaystyle {m}\) is the dependent variable. This means, as we manipulate \(\displaystyle {m}\)\(\displaystyle {n}\) will change.

Because we are given tables in our answer choices, we can plug in the given value for \(\displaystyle {m}\) from the table and use our equation from the question to see if that equals the value given for \(\displaystyle {n}\) in the table.

Let's start by testing values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 13\\ \hline 15 & 44\\ \hline 17 & 49\\ \hline 18& 52\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {2(0)+12=13}\)

\(\displaystyle {0+12=13}\)

\(\displaystyle {12\neq 13}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {2 m + 12 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Next, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 8 & 28\\ \hline 14 & 80\\ \hline 16 & 88\\ \hline 19& 100\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {2(8)+12=28}\)

\(\displaystyle {16+12=28}\)

\(\displaystyle {28=28}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {2(14)+12=80}\)

\(\displaystyle {28+12=80}\)

\(\displaystyle {40\neq 80}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {2 m + 12 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 3 & 18\\ \hline 11 & 34\\ \hline 15 & 53\\ \hline 18& 48\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {2(3)+12=18}\)

\(\displaystyle {6+12=18}\)

\(\displaystyle {18=18}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {2(11)+12=34}\)

\(\displaystyle {22+12=34}\)

\(\displaystyle {34=34}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {2(15)+12=53}\)

\(\displaystyle {30+12=53}\)

\(\displaystyle {42\neq 53}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {2 m + 12 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 3 & 18\\ \hline 4 & 20\\ \hline 9 & 30\\ \hline 14& 40\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {2(3)+12=18}\)

\(\displaystyle {6+12=18}\)

\(\displaystyle {18=18}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {2(4)+12=20}\)

\(\displaystyle {8+12=20}\)

\(\displaystyle {20=20}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {2(9)+12=30}\)

\(\displaystyle {18+12=30}\)

\(\displaystyle {30=30}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {2(14)+12=40}\)

\(\displaystyle {28+12=40}\)

\(\displaystyle {40=40}\)

All of these values were correct for our equation; thus, this table is our correct answer.

Example Question #28 : Understand Independent And Dependent Variables: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Ee.C.9

Select the table of values that represent the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle - 5 m + 19 = n\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 19\\ \hline 1 & 14\\ \hline 6 & -11\\ \hline 13& -46\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 19\\ \hline 1 & 28\\ \hline 6 & -22\\ \hline 13& -92\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 19\\ \hline 5 & -6\\ \hline 12 & -30\\ \hline 16& -51\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 20\\ \hline 1 & 16\\ \hline 6 & -8\\ \hline 13& -42\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 19\\ \hline 1 & 14\\ \hline 6 & -11\\ \hline 13& -46\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

Explanation:

In the equation \(\displaystyle - 5 m + 19 = n\)\(\displaystyle {m}\) is the independent variable and \(\displaystyle {m}\) is the dependent variable. This means, as we manipulate \(\displaystyle {m}\)\(\displaystyle {n}\) will change.

Because we are given tables in our answer choices, we can plug in the given value for \(\displaystyle {m}\) from the table and use our equation from the question to see if that equals the value given for \(\displaystyle {n}\) in the table.

Let's start by testing values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 20\\ \hline 1 & 16\\ \hline 6 & -8\\ \hline 13& -42\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-5(0)+19=20}\)

\(\displaystyle {0+19=20}\)

\(\displaystyle {19\neq 20}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {- 5 m + 19 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Next, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 5 & -6\\ \hline 8 & -42\\ \hline 9 & -52\\ \hline 17& -132\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-5(5)+19=-6}\)

\(\displaystyle {-25+19=-6}\)

\(\displaystyle {-6=-6}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-5(8)+19=-42}\)

\(\displaystyle {-40+19=-42}\)

\(\displaystyle {-21\neq -42}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {- 5 m + 19 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 19\\ \hline 5 & -6\\ \hline 12 & -30\\ \hline 16& -61\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-5(0)+19=19}\)

\(\displaystyle {0+19=19}\)

\(\displaystyle {19=19}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-5(5)+19=-6}\)

\(\displaystyle {-25+19=-6}\)

\(\displaystyle {-6=-6}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-5(12)+19=-30}\)

\(\displaystyle {-60+19=-30}\)

\(\displaystyle {-41\neq -30}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {- 5 m + 19 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 11 & -36\\ \hline 13 & -46\\ \hline 14 & -51\\ \hline 15& -56\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-5(11)+19=-36}\)

\(\displaystyle {-55+19=-36}\)

\(\displaystyle {-36=-36}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-5(13)+19=-46}\)

\(\displaystyle {-65+19=-46}\)

\(\displaystyle {-46=-46}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-5(14)+19=-51}\)

\(\displaystyle {-70+19=-51}\)

\(\displaystyle {-51=-51}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-5(15)+19=-56}\)

\(\displaystyle {-75+19=-56}\)

\(\displaystyle {-56=-56}\)

All of these values were correct for our equation; thus, this table is our correct answer.

Example Question #29 : Understand Independent And Dependent Variables: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Ee.C.9

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & 6\\ \hline 1 & -6\\ \hline 7 & -78\\ \hline 15& -174\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-12(0)+6=7}\)

\(\displaystyle {0+6=7}\)

\(\displaystyle {6\neq 7}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {- 12 m + 6 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Next, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 6 & -66\\ \hline 8 & -180\\ \hline 14 & -324\\ \hline 19& -444\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-12(6)+6=-66}\)

\(\displaystyle {-72+6=-66}\)

\(\displaystyle {-66=-66}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-12(8)+6=-180}\)

\(\displaystyle {-96+6=-180}\)

\(\displaystyle {-90\neq -180}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {- 12 m + 6 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\(\displaystyle {-12(3)+6=-30}\)

\(\displaystyle {-36+6=-30}\)

\(\displaystyle {-30=-30}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-12(6)+6=-66}\)

\(\displaystyle {-72+6=-66}\)

\(\displaystyle {-66=-66}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-12(7)+6=-67}\)

\(\displaystyle {-84+6=-67}\)

\(\displaystyle {-78\neq -67}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {- 12 m + 6 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & -18\\ \hline 7 & -78\\ \hline 14 & -162\\ \hline 18& -210\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {-78=-78}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-12(14)+6=-162}\)

\(\displaystyle {-168+6=-162}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {-12(18)+6=-210}\)

\(\displaystyle {-216+6=-210}\)

\(\displaystyle {-210=-210}\)

All of these values were correct for our equation; thus, this table is our correct answer.

Example Question #30 : Understand Independent And Dependent Variables: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Ee.C.9

Select the table of values that represent the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle m - 1 = n\)

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 3 & 2\\ \hline 10 & 9\\ \hline 11 & 10\\ \hline 17& 16\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

Explanation:

In the equation \(\displaystyle m - 1 = n\)\(\displaystyle {m}\) is the independent variable and \(\displaystyle {m}\) is the dependent variable. This means, as we manipulate \(\displaystyle {m}\)\(\displaystyle {n}\) will change.

Because we are given tables in our answer choices, we can plug in the given value for \(\displaystyle {m}\) from the table and use our equation from the question to see if that equals the value given for \(\displaystyle {n}\) in the table.

Let's start by testing values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 3 & 3\\ \hline 10 & 11\\ \hline 11 & 13\\ \hline 17& 20\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {1(3)+-1=3}\)

\(\displaystyle {3+-1=3}\)

\(\displaystyle {2\neq 3}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {m - 1 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Next, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 7 & 6\\ \hline 13 & 24\\ \hline 15 & 28\\ \hline 19& 36\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {1(7)-1=6}\)

\(\displaystyle {7-1=6}\)

\(\displaystyle {6=6}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {1(13)-1=24}\)

\(\displaystyle {13-1=24}\)

\(\displaystyle {12\neq 24}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {m - 1 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 0 & -1\\ \hline 6 & 5\\ \hline 8 & 18\\ \hline 14& 23\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {1(0)-1=-1}\)

\(\displaystyle {0-1=-1}\)

\(\displaystyle {-1=-1}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {1(6)-1=5}\)

\(\displaystyle {6-1=5}\)

\(\displaystyle {5=5}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {1(8)-1=18}\)

\(\displaystyle {8-1=18}\)

\(\displaystyle {7\neq 18}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {m - 1 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 1 & 0\\ \hline 3 & 2\\ \hline 6 & 5\\ \hline 12& 11\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {1(1)-1=0}\)

\(\displaystyle {1-1=0}\)

\(\displaystyle {0=0}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {1(3)-1=2}\)

\(\displaystyle {3-1=2}\)

\(\displaystyle {2=2}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {1(6)-1=5}\)

\(\displaystyle {6-1=5}\)

\(\displaystyle {5=5}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {1(12)-1=11}\)

\(\displaystyle {12+-1=11}\)

\(\displaystyle {11=11}\)

All of these values were correct for our equation; thus, this table is our correct answer.

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & 39\\ \hline 13 & 205\\ \hline 14 & 221\\ \hline 16& 252\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 1 & 23\\ \hline 3 & 53\\ \hline 6 & 109\\ \hline 19& 303\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & 38\\ \hline 13 & 406\\ \hline 14 & 436\\ \hline 16& 496\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & 38\\ \hline 13 & 203\\ \hline 14 & 218\\ \hline 16& 248\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & 38\\ \hline 13 & 203\\ \hline 14 & 218\\ \hline 16& 248\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

Explanation:

In the equation \(\displaystyle 15 m + 8 = n\)\(\displaystyle {m}\) is the independent variable and \(\displaystyle {m}\) is the dependent variable. This means, as we manipulate \(\displaystyle {m}\)\(\displaystyle {n}\) will change.

Because we are given tables in our answer choices, we can plug in the given value for \(\displaystyle {m}\) from the table and use our equation from the question to see if that equals the value given for \(\displaystyle {n}\) in the table.

Let's start by testing values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & 39\\ \hline 13 & 205\\ \hline 14 & 221\\ \hline 16& 252\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {15(2)+8=39}\)

\(\displaystyle {30+8=39}\)

\(\displaystyle {38\neq 39}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {15 m + 8 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Next, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 2 & 38\\ \hline 3 & 106\\ \hline 7 & 226\\ \hline 8& 256\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {15(2)+8=38}\)

\(\displaystyle {30+8=38}\)

\(\displaystyle {38=38}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {15(3)+8=106}\)

\(\displaystyle {45+8=106}\)

\(\displaystyle {53\neq 106}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {15 m + 8 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 1 & 23\\ \hline 3 & 53\\ \hline 6 & 109\\ \hline 19& 293\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {15(1)+8=23}\)

\(\displaystyle {15+8=23}\)

\(\displaystyle {23=23}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {15(3)+8=53}\)

\(\displaystyle {45+8=53}\)

\(\displaystyle {53=53}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {15(6)+8=109}\)

\(\displaystyle {90+8=109}\)

\(\displaystyle {98\neq 109}\)

Because this equation did not work out, this means that not all of the values from the table are representative of the relationship between \(\displaystyle {m}\) and \(\displaystyle {n}\) if \(\displaystyle {15 m + 8 = n}\) ; thus, this answer choice is not correct and can be eliminated.

Finally, let's test values from the following table:

\(\displaystyle {\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline m & n \\ \hline 3 & 53\\ \hline 5 & 83\\ \hline 8 & 128\\ \hline 9& 143\\ \hline \end{tabular}}\)

\(\displaystyle {15(3)+8=53}\)

\(\displaystyle {45+8=53}\)

\(\displaystyle {53=53}\)

These values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {15(5)+8=83}\)

\(\displaystyle {75+8=83}\)

\(\displaystyle {83=83}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {15(8)+8=128}\)

\(\displaystyle {120+8=128}\)

\(\displaystyle {128=128}\)

Again, these values are correct for our equation, but to be safe we should plug each value into our equation until we find a value that is not correct, or that each value is correct.

\(\displaystyle {15(9)+8=143}\)

\(\displaystyle {135+8=143}\)

\(\displaystyle {143=143}\)

All of these values were correct for our equation; thus, this table is our correct answer.
