0.04 x - 79.02 = 1.1 Add 79.02 to both sides
0.04 x - 79.02 + 79.02 = 1.1 + 79.02
0.04 x = 80,12 Divide both sides by 0.04
x = 80.12 / 0.04
x = 2003
number N of state and federal inmates in millions during year x where x >=2002 can be approximated by the following formula N=0.04x-79.02. determine the year in which there were 1.1 million inmates
