The equation c=1.2 x plus 85.73 can be used to estimate the cost c of a holiday dinner for 10 people x years after 2000. Determine in what year the cost of a dinner for 10 people will be ​$95.33.
--------
C(x) = 1.2x + 85.73
----
Solve::
95.33 = 1.2x + 85.73
1.2x = 9.6
---
x = 8 years
-----
Ans: 2000 + 8 = 2008
