Question 757395: The amount of oil imported to Country A from Country B in millions of barrels pcr day can be approximated by the equation y = 0.052x + 1.44, where x is the number of years since 1970. Solve this equation for x. Use the new equation to determine in which year the approximate number of oil barrels imported from Country B per day will be 2.48 million. thanks.

y = 0.052x + 1.44
y - 1.44 = 0.052x
(y - 1.440)/ 0.052 = x
Using this formula
(2.48 - 1.44)/0.052 = x
1.04/0.052 = x
x = 20 years.
Hope this helps.
