Answer:
<h2>x = 6</h2><h2 />
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3(12x - 24) = 16
12x - 24 = 16 (3)
12x = 48 + 24
x = 72 / 12
x = 6
Let's actually find the line of best fit...
m=(nΣyx-ΣyΣx)/(nΣx^2-ΣxΣx)
m=(11*836-130*55)/(11*385-3025)
m=2046/1210
m=93/55
b=(Σy-93Σx/55)/n
b=(55Σy-93Σx)/(55n)
b=(7150-5115)/(55*11)
b=185/55, so the line of best fit is:
y=(93x+185)/55
A) The approximate y-intercept (the value of y when x=0) is 185/55≈3.36.
Which means that those who do not practice at all will win about 3.36 times
B) y(13)=(93x+185)/55
y(13)≈25.34
So after 13 months of practice one would expect to win about 25.34 times.
Solution
Find the y-intercept for following equation:

Using the slope equation formular:

The value of y when x = 0

Hence the answer is - 1
If you would like to find the value of a in the polynomial, you can do this using the following steps:
(y - 4)(y^2 + 4y + 16) = y^3 + 4y^2 + 16y - 4y^2 - 16y - 64 = y^3 + 4y^2 + ay - 4y^2 - ay - 64
a = 16
The correct result would be 16.
