Bethany Stark · Answer 1

X = 40 when y=1 because if x=4 when y=1 that means they multiply y by 4.

Imani Gallagher · Answer 2

x = 40 when y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason that answer is true is because every time 'y' goes up by 1 'x' goes up by 4. So when 'y' = 10 that means x has to go up 10 times just like 'y' did.
