The number N of state and federal inmates in millions during year x, where x>2002
can be approximated by the following formula N=0.05x-98.55 determine the year in which there were 1.6 million inmates. show work
N(x) = 0.05x - 98.55
1.6 = 0.05x - 98.55 ----- Substituting for 1.6 for N(x)
1.6 + 98.55 = 0.05x
100.15 = 0.05x
x = , or the year
You can do the check!!
