Respuesta :
y = 0.09*x + 55.64
y = 0.09*160 + 55.64 <<--- replace x with 160
y = 14.4 + 55.64
y = 70.04
The person who weighs 160 pounds is predicted to be about 70.04 inches tall
Note: 70.04 inches = 5 ft, 10.04 inches (so roughly 5'10")

Answer:
Height is 70.04 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the equation
[tex]yˆ=0.09x+55.64[/tex] models a person's height, in inches, where x is the weight of the person in pounds.
We have to find out the approximate height of the person that weighs 160 pounds
Algebraically we have to find y for x = 160
Substitute for y in the given equation.
[tex]y=0.09(160)+55.64\\y=70.04"[/tex]
