There is a positive correlation between the number of times the Striped Ground Cricket chirps per second and the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. If a scatter plot is made with the number of chirps on the horizontal axis and the trend line is found to be y = 3x + 25, then what would you predict the number of chirps per second to be when the temperature is 55 degrees Fahrenheit?

squirrels · Answer

Ok, so y= Fahrenheit and the equation they gave you is y=3x+25 now you have to plug in 55 to "y" since the gave you the Fahrenheit.

55=3x+25

Now you are going to want to find "x"

squirrels · Answer

Isolate "3x" by subtracting 25 by both sides..

 55=3x+25
-25      -25
----------
30=3x <------- simplified

squirrels · Answer

Now all you have to do is divide 3 by both sides to get x.
30/3=3x/3
