1. **State the problem:** We have a function that takes an input number, subtracts 8 from it, then divides the result by 2. 2. **Write the formula:** If the input is $x$, the output $y$ is given by: $$y = \frac{x - 8}{2}$$ 3. **Apply the formula to the given inputs:** - For $x=18$: $$y = \frac{18 - 8}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5$$ - For $x=24$: $$y = \frac{24 - 8}{2} = \frac{16}{2} = 8$$ (Note: The problem states output is 1 for input 24, which seems inconsistent with the formula. We will trust the formula and recalculate.) 4. **Calculate outputs for missing inputs:** - For $x=10$: $$y = \frac{10 - 8}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1$$ - For $x=14$: $$y = \frac{14 - 8}{2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3$$ 5. **Summary:** The outputs for inputs 10 and 14 are 1 and 3 respectively. **Final answers:** - Input 10 gives output 1 - Input 14 gives output 3
