Using the linear regression equation, the concentration of the unknown solution is 0.2161 M.
Linear regression describes the relationship of two variables. It may not be exact but it is the line that best fit the data. The equation for a linear regression is in the form y = bx + a, where x and y are the two variables.
If the absorbance of an unknown was determined to be 0.67 absorbance units, using the linear regression equation provided from the plot, substitute the value of absorbance to the variable y and solve for the value of x or the concentration.
y = 3.8674x - 0.1657
0.67 = 3.8674x - 0.1657
3.8674x = 0.67 + 0.1657
3.8674x = 0.8357
x = 0.2161
Hence, the concentration is 0.2161 M.

Answer:
13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3=9/x
2x=9*3
2x=27
x=27÷2
x=13.5
The first thing you want to do is plug in x and y into both equations:
a(3) + b(4) = 4
b(3) + a(4) = 8
rearrange to line up a’s and b’s
3a + 4b = 4
4a + 3b = 8
now you want to choose a or b and multiply each equation by a number to make them have the same amount of a’s or b’s.
4(3a + 4b = 4) = 12a + 16b = 16
3(4a + 3b = 8) = 12a + 9b = 24
Now we subtract the bottom equation from the top and solve for b:
12a + 16b - (12a + 9b) = 16 - 24
7b = -8
b = -8/7
Now we plug back in for b to one of the original equations:
3a + 4(-8/7) = 4
3a + (-32/7) = 4
3a - (32/7) = 4
3a = 4 + (32/7)
3a = (28/7) + (32/7)
3a = 60/7
a = (60/7)/3 = 20/7.
Finally, plug a and b in together to double check using the second equation.
4a + 3b = 8
4(20/7) + 3(-8/7) = ?
(80/7) - (24/7) = ?
56/7 = 8.
