Question

The number N of state and federal inmates in millions during year x, where x >2002 can be approximated by the following formula. N=0.03x-58.85 Determine the year in which there were 1.3 million inmates

Answer 1

10

Answer 2

\[N=0.03x-58.85 \]\[1.3=0.03x-58.85 \]

Answer 3

if \[1.3=0.03x-58.85\] then
\[1.3+58.85=0.03x\] or \[60.15=0.03x\] so
\[x=60.15\div .03\]

Answer 4

i get \(60.15\div 0.03=2005\)
