$x$	$2a$	$y = 2x - 5$
$-2$
$-1$
$0$
$1$
$2$
$3$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate 2a when x = -3

Here, we assume that \( a = x \) (since the column is labeled \( 2a \) and the first column is \( x \), so substituting \( x = -3 \) into \( 2a \) where \( a=x \), we get \( 2\times(-3) = -6 \).

Step2: Calculate y for \( y = 2x - 5 \) when x = -3

Substitute \( x=-3 \) into the equation \( y = 2x - 5 \). So \( y=2\times(-3)-5=-6 - 5=-11 \).

Answer:

For the \( 2a \) column (when \( x = -3 \)): \(-6\)
For the \( y = 2x - 5 \) column (when \( x = -3 \)): \(-11\)
