The number of state federal inmates in millions during year x, where x is greater than or equal to 2002 can be approximated by the following formula

Question

N=0.04x-78.96
Determine the year in which there were 1.2 million inmates

Answer 1

N = 1.2

1.2 = 0.04 x - 78.96

OR

0.04 x - 78.96 = 1.2

0.04 x = 1.2 + 78.96

0.04 x = 80.16 Divide both sides by 0.04

x = 80.16 / 0.04

x = 2004

Answer 2

N=0.03x-58.78

Answer 3

The number of state federal inmates in millions during year x, where x is greater than or equal to 2002 can be approximated by the following formula.
N=0.04x-78.48
Determine the year in which there were 1.8 million inmates
