Answer:
14 knots
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the speed (55 knots) is 6 more than 3.5 times the winner of the monohull in the 2007 tournament.
So let's set the variable for the speed of the monohull to <em>m</em>. Now, let's set up an equation:

We can solve this by first subtracting 6 from both sides to get:

Dividing both sides by 3.5 we get:

That means that the top speed of the monohull in the 2007 tournament was 14 knots
Answer: d.) None of the answer choices is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The homework score is an independent variable (known) and on the x-axis, while the midterm exam is the dependent variable, so it's on the y-axis
y = 0.91x - 94.4; and x=420
Substitute x as 420 into the equation.
y = 382.2 - 94.4 = 287.8, or approximately 288.
And this value isn't in the options above.
