Find the rule. Solve for n. X Y 5 11 6 13 8 n 10 21

The missing value n equals 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; First, we need to determine the equation relating the x to the y values in the table. y is the dependent value whereas x is an independent value i. e. the y value depends on the value of x.

Step 2; If we multiply the value of x with 2 and add the resulting answer with 1 we get the y value.

y = 2x + 1 is the equation that relates the values in the table.

Step 3; Now we substitute the values in the equation

For x = 5, y = 2 (5) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11,

For x = 6, y = 2 (6) + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13,

For x = 8, y = 2 (8) + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17,

For x = 10, y = 2 (10) + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21,

So the value of y when x = 8 is 17.
