1. What is the predicted height (in feet ) of a tree that produces 88 pounds of oranges Using the equation p-25 = 40/11(h-5).

-
I assume p is the variable for pounds?

p - 25 = 40/11(h - 5)

88 - 25 = 40/11(h - 5)

63 = 40/11(h - 5)

693 = 40(h - 5)

693 = 40h - 200

893 = 40h

22.325 feet = height

-
Well, if p is the number of pounds of oranges produced and h is the height of the tree, we just need to rearrange the equation and solve for h:

p - 25 = 40/(11(h - 5))
(p-5)(h-5) = 40/11
h - 5 = (40/11(p - 5))
h = (40/11(p - 5)) + 5

Plug in the value for p and you will then know h
