Answer:
5625 bald eagles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]y = 312.5x + 1562.5[/tex]
Required
Predict the numbers in 1998
First, we calculate the value of x
[tex]x = 1998 - 1985[/tex] ---- years since 1985
[tex]x = 13[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]y = 312.5x + 1562.5[/tex]
[tex]y = 312.5*13 + 1562.5[/tex]
[tex]y = 4062.5 + 1562.5[/tex]
[tex]y = 5625[/tex]
