An apple orchard has an average yield of 38 bushels of apples/tree if tree density is 21 trees/acre. For each unit increase in tree density, the yield decreases by 3 bushels. Letting x denote the number of trees beyond 21/acre, find a function in x that gives the yield of apples.

What will be an ideal response?
