For this problem you'll get a number, find it's opposite and sum 96 to it. The equation used will be:

x = -x + 96

Where:

x = a number

-x = the opposite of x

So:

x = -x + 96

x + x = 96

2x = 96

x = 96 / 2

x = 48

And now, if you do the sum to prove your answer:

48 - 96 = -48

Answer:

$\boxed{\bf~48~is~the~number}$

It would take 70,000 seeds if five out of seven are good. So over a quantity of 50,000 plants desired, you would sow 70,000 seeds. As 20,000 would statistically fail.

ANSWER:

[a] A linear regression line has an equation of the form Y = a + bX, where X is the explanatory variable and Y is the dependent variable. The slope of the line is b, and a is the intercept (the value of y when x = 0).

[b] In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as “y = mx + b”), the slope is the number “m” that is multiplied on the x, and “b” is the y-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis). This useful form of the line equation is sensibly named the “Slope-intercepts form”.
