Answer:

No it doesn't

Explanation:

The equation we have is

Y = 150x

We have x = 4 hours

This is a simple question. We have to plug in the x = 4 in the equation to find out if we would have 640 brushes. If y = 640, then it models it. But if y is not equal to 640, it doesn't.

So let's solve this to see for ourselves.

Y = 150(x)

We put the value of x

Y = 150(4)

Y = 600

So we can see that the equation does not model the number of brushes made each hour. This equation models 600 brushes and not 640.
