Suppose that tuition at a state college was $3500 per year in 1995 and has been increasing at a rate of $225 per year. Use this model to predict the tuition at this college in 2007.
---------------------------------
T(x) = 225x + 3500 where x is the number of years after 1995
----------------------
2007 is 12 years after 1995
---------------
T(12) = 225*12 + 3500
T(12) = 2700 + 2500
T(12) = $5200
