Question

The number of men and women receiving​ bachelor's degrees each year has been steadily increasing. For the years 1970 through the projection of​ 2014, the number of men receiving degrees​ (in thousands) is given by the equation y= 3.9x+446​, and for​ women, the equation is y= 14.2x+316​, where x is the number of years after 1970.

Answer 1

if what I think you want is the number of bachelor degrees from from 1970 to 2014 for both men and women is then:

men: 617.6

women: 940.8

Explanation:

from 1970 to 2014 it is 44 years so we plug 44 into x for both equations

Men:

y = 3.9(44) + 446

y = 171.6 + 446

y = 617.6

Women:

y = 14.2(44) + 316

y = 624.8 + 316

y = 940.8
