A dead body was found within a closed room of a house where the temperature was a constant 65° F. At the time of discovery the c
ore temperature of the body was determined to be 80° F. One hour later a second measurement showed that the core temperature of the body was 75° F. Assume that the time of death corresponds to t = 0 and that the core temperature at that time was 98.6° F. Determine how many hours elapsed before the body was found. [Hint: Let t1 > 0 denote the time that the body was discovered.] (Round your answer to one decimal place.) hr Need Help? Read It Talk to a Tutor

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
let f(x) = y and rearrange making x the subject
y = ( multiply both sides by 7 to clear the fraction )
7y = x + 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
7y - 2 = x
Change y back into terms of x with x the inverse function, that is
p(x) = 7x - 2
