Alexander's math teacher finds that there's roughly a linear relationship between the amount of time students spend on their homework and their weekly quiz scores. This relationship can be represented by the equation y=6.9x+65y=6.9x+65, where yy represents the expected quiz score and xx represents hours spent on homework that week. What is the meaning of the xx-value when y=88y=88?
