Question

PLS HELP!!! The snowy tree cricket is sometimes called the temperature cricket because the frequency of its chirps varies based on the temperature. The number of snowy tree cricket chirps per minute is 148 less than 4 times the outside temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. The equation x=4f-148 relates the number of chirps per minute x and the outside temperature in degrees Fahrenheit f. What is the change in chirps per minute for each increase in temperature by 1 degree​ Fahrenheit? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

62 degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of snowy tree cricket chirps per minute is 148 less than 4 times the outside temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

Let x = number of chirps

f = temp in Fahrenheit

x =  4f -148

Now let x = 100

100 = 4f-148

Add 148 to each side

100+148 = 4f-148+148

248 = 4f

Divide each side by 4

248/4 = 4f/4

62=f
