is added to each X value to get the Y value.
To find the rule, you may have to do some trial and error. The most important thing to remember is, once you think you have the rule, make sure to test the rule with all of the X values.

Example Question #1372 : How To Add
In Spot’s toy basket he has balls. There are more stuffed animals than balls and there is double the number of ropes than balls. How many toys does Spot have in his basket?
To solve this problem, we first have to find our unknowns. Our unknowns are the number of ropes and stuffed animals that Spot has. We can set up equations for these unknowns by letting represent ropes and represent stuffed animals.
because he has more stuffed animals than his balls.
because double means times more.
Now we need to add up our number of balls, stuffed animals and ropes to find our total.
Example Question #1373 : How To Add
Charlie swims laps in the pool every day during the week before school. On Monday and Tuesday he swims laps each day. On Wednesday and Thursday he triples the number of laps he swims. By Friday, he does less laps than he does on Monday. How many total laps does he swim during the week?
To solve this problem, we first have to find our unknowns. Our unknowns are the number of laps he swims on Wednesday and Thursday and the number of laps he swims on Friday. We can set up equations for these unknowns by letting represent the laps that he swims on Wednesday and Thursday and represent the number of laps he swims on Friday.
because when we triple something we multiply by .
because he is swimming less laps than he did on Monday, which means we subtract.
To find the total amount of laps that he swam, we need to add up the laps that he did each day.
Example Question #11 : Solve Two Step Word Problems Using The Four Operations: Ccss.Math.Content.3.Oa.D.8
In Spot’s toy basket he has balls. There are more stuffed animals than balls and there is five times the number of ropes than balls. How many toys does Spot have in his basket?
To solve this problem, we first have to find our unknowns. Our unknowns are the number of ropes and stuffed animals that Spot has. We can set up equations for these unknowns by letting represent ropes and represent stuffed animals.
because he has more stuffed animals than his balls.
because he has five times as many ropes as his balls.
Now we need to add up our number of balls, stuffed animals and ropes to find our total.
Example Question #12 : Solve Two Step Word Problems Using The Four Operations: Ccss.Math.Content.3.Oa.D.8
Tim swims laps in the pool every day during the week before school. On Monday and Tuesday he swims laps each day. On Wednesday and Thursday he doubles the number of laps he swims. On Friday, he swims fewer laps than he swam on Monday. How many total laps does he swim during the week?
To solve this problem, we first have to find our unknowns. Our unknowns are the number of laps he swims on Wednesday and Thursday and the number of laps he swims on Friday. We can set up equations for these unknowns by letting represent the laps that he swims on Wednesday and Thursday and represent the number of laps he swims on Friday.
because when we double something we multiply by .
because he is swimming less laps than he did on Monday, which means we subtract.
To find the total amount of laps that he swam, we need to add up the laps that he did each day.
Example Question #21 : Geometric Measurement: Understand Concepts Of Angle And Measure Angles
