Answer:

17.86

Explanation:

You want to find y when x=8 using the equation y = 13.06 +0.6x.

Evaluation

Put the value of the variable in place of the variable in the equation, and do the arithmetic.

y = 13.06 +0.6x

y = 13.06 +0.6ยท8 . . . for x=8

y = 13.06 +4.8

y = 17.86

The estimated value of y for x=8 is 17.86.
