X=4 because you combine 2+4 and subtract -6 then divide
Correct Question:
Tim is investigating the relationship between the number of years since a tree was planted and the height of the tree in feet. His data are shown in the table. Years Since Tree was Planted vs. Height of Tree
Years since the tree was planted, x
Height of tree in feet, y
2, 17, 3, 25, 5, 42, 6, 47, 7, 54, 9, 69
Using a regression calculator, what is a good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old?
Answer/explanation:
There is no good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old. If you analyze careful in details the regression calculator you realize that it probably will not valid that far in to the future say 100 years.
Percentage by which the average value of mid sized car decreases each year = 8%
Retail value of a car today = v dollars
Amount of decrease in the value of the car after 1 year = (8/100) * v
= 2v/25 dollars
Then
The equation that represents the value of the car after 1 year = v - (2v/25) dollars
= (25v - 2v)/25 dollars
= 23v/25 dollars
So following this expression the value of the mid sized car can be easily determined after 1 year. I hope this is the answer you were looking for and the procedure is also clear to you.
FYI - 14,15,16 are correct.
17. a) 7 (nearest integer), b) 6.8 (nearest tenth)
18. a) 14 (nearest integer), b) 13.8 (nearest tenth)
19. 
--> simplified to = 2
