Question

I need help with #5 please help and I need the work

Answer 1

If Paul's height is equal to 69.4 inches, we can plug this value into the equation for h and solve for the length of his tibia bone, t.

h = 2.4t + 32.2 (given)

69.4 = 2.4t + 32.2 (substitute)

37.2 = 2.4t (subtract 32.2 from both sides)

15.5 = t (divide both sides by 2.4)

Since there is a 5 in the hundredths place, we round up to 16.

Answer:

The approximate length of Paul's tibia bone is 16 inches

Answer 2

Plug in 69.4 for
69.4= 2.4t+ 32.2
-32.2 - 32.2
37.2=2.4t
15.5=t
So, t is approximately 16 inches
