8. Write an equation for each of the tables and use it to help you fill in the gaps. For example: Table A: Let the numbers in Column A be represented by y. We multiply each number by 2 to get the numbers in Column B. So the equation will read
y × 2 = Column B or for the first number, 1 × 2 = 2.
a) Table A
12 24 3 4
510 10 12 15 20
100 b) Table B
15 210 3 4
10 13 65 18 20 35 50
