Problem 82

Perform each indicated operation. $$ \left(-\frac{3}{8}-\frac{2}{3}\right)-\left(-\frac{9}{8}-3\right) $$

Problem 82

A mathematical model is an equation that describes the relationship between two quantities. For example, the life expectancy at birth of Americans can be approximated by the equation $$ y=0.212 x-347 $$ where \(x\) is a year between 1943 and 2005 and \(y\) is age in years. (Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.) Use this model to approximate life expectancy (to the nearest tenth of a year) in each of the following years. (IMAGE CANNOT COPY) $$ 1960 $$
