\displaystyle {T}{\left({x}\right)}={.18}{x}+{80.25}

gives an estimate of the daily high temperature during this period where x is the number of days after April 1, 2015. Evaluate

\displaystyle {T}{\left({24}\right)}

(rounded to one decimal place) and then state its physical interpretation.

\displaystyle {T}{\left({24}\right)}

=
