A men's shoe size is related to his foot length and can be modeled by the equations s=1.7f -7.2, where s is shoe size and fis foot length, in inches. What is the shoe size of a man whose foot measures 9 inches?

Answer:
B. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation, [tex] s = 1.7f - 7.2 [/tex],
where,
s = shoe size,
f = foot length,
To determine the shoe size of a man that has a foot length (f) of 9 in, substitute f = 9 into the equation.
[tex] s = 1.7f - 7.2 [/tex]
[tex] s = 1.7(9) - 7.2 [/tex] (substitution)
[tex] s = 15.3 - 7.2 [/tex]
[tex] s = 15.3 - 7.2 [/tex]
[tex] s = 8.1 [/tex]
His shoe size is approximately 8 inches
