Question

n a certain year, the amount A of garbage in pounds produced after t days by an average person is given A=2.2t  a) graph the equation for t>0 b) how many days did it take fir the average man to produce 150 pounds of garbage?

I assume you can graph it on your own.  The second part just requires you to use the equation$$A=2.2t$$plugging in 150 for A:$$150=2.2t$$and solving for t.

I need help! I have the first part to this question but I need to know how to get the numbers in order to graph the problem. Here is the question: 

In a certain year, the amount A of garbage in pounds produced after t days by an average household is given by A=5.5t
(a)graph the equation for t>0
(b) How many days did it take approximatately for the average household to produce 150 pounds of garbage?

Pick a range for t....say 1 to 10, then calculate the equation for each value of t and plot them.  You should end up with a graph that looks like this.
