SOLUTION: Crickets are sensitive to temperature. To estimate the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, you can use the function T(n) = 15n + 40, where n = number of chirps in 15 seconds and T(n

Question 1207565: Crickets are sensitive to temperature. To estimate the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, you can use the function T(n) = 15n + 40, where n = number of chirps in 15 seconds and T(n) is the degrees in Fahrenheit. Estimate how many chirps will you hear if the temperature outside is 86◦F.

You want to find n when T(n) is 86:

86 = 15n + 40

Solve using basic algebra.

We can't tell from your post whether you don't understand how to set up the problem, or whether it is solving the equation that is what you are having trouble with.

If you need help solving the equation, re-post, saying that it is the algebra you need help with.
