Problema Solution

The number N of state and federal inmates in millions during year x, where x is greater than or equal to 202 can be approximated by the following formula

N-0.04x-79.02

detrime the year in which there was 1.1 million inmates

Answer provided by our tutors

the year is 2003 when the inmates come to 1.1million

Solution: the equation is N=0.04x -79.02

               when N= 1.1million, 1.1=0.04X -79.02

               So X =2003
