for some reason it tells me its wrong but i know its right unless i'm missing something

Question

Your home state uses a linear model y= 24(x-70)+1274 to predict the number of vacationers (y) as compared to the average temperature for that week (x). Find the number of vacationers predicted for a week with an average temperature of 85 degrees.

 

So i worked out the problem i got an answer of 1634. Am i wrong? 

Answer 1

Evaluate y when x=85.

 

y = 24(85 - 70) + 1274

y = 24(15) + 1274

y = 360 + 1274

y = 1634

 

Correct!
