You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you can solve this problem numerically like this,
y=2x+1
when x=7, substitute the x value=7 in the given rule.
y=2*7+1
=14+1
=15
That is when the input is 7, the output is 15.


To predict the output when input is 31/2,
for that, you just put the value x=31/2 in the given rule
that is, y = 2 * 31/2 +1
= 31 + 1= 32
That is when the inputis 31/2, the out put is 32

Solution:
We first plug in for different values of x, to get the corresponding values of y.
Therefore, the table of values are:
X 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
y 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17
Using these values, we draw the graph of the given straight line.
The graph looks as follows:
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C-10%2C+10%2C+-20%2C+20%2C+2x%2B1%29+
So from the above graph, when x takes the value 7, the value
of y is 15.
So in a similar way when x = 3 1/2, that is 7/2 then the value of y is 8. This point is obtained by plugging in the value of x in the given equation.


Y = 2(7/2) + 1
 y = 7 + 1
 y = 8
