In June, Tara gathered data about amusement park attendance on days with different temperatures. Tara used the equation y=−3.5x+400 to model the number of children, y, at the amusement park as a function of the temperature, x. On a day in July, the temperature was 90°F and there were 60 children at the park. Which is the residual of this data point?

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the model:

y=−3.5x+400

Number of children in amusement park = y

Temperature = x

On a certain day:

Temperature = 90°F

Number of children in park = 60

Using the model :

The predicted number of children in park when temperature is 90°F would be :

y = - 3.5(90) + 400

y = - 315 + 400

y = 85

Model prediction = 85 children

Actual figure = 60

Residual :

|Actual - predicted | = |60 - 85| = 25 children

step-by-step explanation:

sry but any answer choices

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
