y = 6.2x + b
2222.4 = 6.2*52 + b, so b = 1900
So, we now know that
y = 6.2x + 1900
Just plug in x=26
Or, without even finding b, we know that each gallon of fuel weighs 6.2 pounds, so just subtract 26*6.2 from 2222.4
2222.4 = 6.2*52 + b, so b = 1900

Wf = 8Lbs/gal.
Wa + 8x = Wt
Wa + 8*14 = 2091
Wa = 1979 Lbs. = weight of airplane without fuel.
Wa + 8x = 1979 + 8*50 =
Wa + 8x = Wt
Wa + 8*14 = 2091
Wa = 1979 Lbs. = weight of airplane without fuel.
Wa + 8x = 1979 + 8*50 =
