x is the temperature and y is the number of swimmers. If there are 80 swimmers, then y = 80 instead of x = 80
This is how Corey should have solved
y = 1.505*x - 88.21
80 = 1.505*x - 88.21 <--- replace y with 80
1.505*x - 88.21 = 80
1.505*x = 80 + 88.21 <--- add 88.21 to both sides
1.505*x = 168.21
x = 168.21/1.505 <--- divide both sides by 1.505
x = 111.767
x = 111.8
If there are 80 swimmers at the pool, then the possible outside temperature is roughly 111.8 degrees F. This temperature seems awfully large, so it's possible that Corey's regression equation has limited scope; in other words, it isn't too useful if x is outside a given interval

Answer:
8, 10, 3
Step-by-step explanation:
For finding real solutions to cubic equations and those of higher degree, I find a graphing calculator to be useful. The problem can be cast in the form ...
f(x) = 0
where f(x) is the difference between the product of the integers and 240:
f(x) = x(x +2)(x -5) -240
Then all we need to do is ask the calculator to show the x-intercept. It is x=8.
So, the three integers are ...
- x = 8
- x+2 = 10
- x -5 = 3
