Make two columns. Label one column and the other .

Pick a value for . It can be anything you like but small integers generally make the arithmetic easier. In this particular case, because the denominator of the coefficient on is 5, I would choose multiples of 5. Remember you can also choose negative numbers and zero.

Take the value you picked for , put it into the equation in place of , and then do the required arithmetic to determine the value of that results.

Write the value you chose for and the value you calculated for into their respective columns on your table.

Go back to the beginning and pick another value for and repeat the process. Repeat the process as many times as is required by your teacher or your textbook instructions.
