Question

PLEASE HELP

Suppose the sales of a particular brand of appliance satisfy the relationship y=150x+1300 where y represents the number of sales in year x, with 0 corresponding to 1982. Find the number of sales in 1992.

Answer 1

2800 sales

Explanation:

If year x = 0 is 1982, then year x = 10 is 1992.

We know the number of sales y in year x is y=150x+1300, so we can sub 10 in for x to get the answer:

y=150x+1300=150(10)+1300=1500+1300=2800
