Georges asked five of his friends how long they studied for the last math test and what grade they received. he found a linear regression equation for the data to be y = 9.6x + 65.8. what does the 9.6 mean in the context of this equation? a) his friends on average studied 9.6 hours. b) if they studied 9.6 hours they would get a 0 on the test. c) they should study 9.6 hours in order to get an a on the test. d) for every hour they studied their grade would go up 9.6 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to answer this problem, let us assume that x is the number of hours (the independent variable) and y is the score obtained (the dependent variable). The value 65.8 is the y-intercept which means that we will get y = 65.8 if x is equal to zero. This means that 65.8 is the score that one can get if he does not study at all. 

the answer to this question is 3/19

step-by-step explanation:

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
