AlgebraEasyCorrect row of a table for a linear rule

Algebra practice question

A table lists values of y = 3x + 1. Which of the following rows is correct?

  1. A. x = 2, y = 7Correct
  2. B. x = 2, y = 6
  3. C. x = 2, y = 5
  4. D. x = 2, y = 9

Answer: A. x = 2, y = 7

3(2) + 1 = 7.

Why the other answers are wrong

B. x = 2, y = 6
6 is 3(2) without the +1.
C. x = 2, y = 5
5 is 2 + 3, adding instead of multiplying.
D. x = 2, y = 9
9 is 3(2 + 1).
