The equation y = 426x + 5356 approximates a school's annual tuition, y in dollars, given the number of years since 2000X. Predict the school's annual tuition in 2016.

Respuesta :

Answer:

$12,172

Step-by-step explanation:

The year 2016 is 16 years after the year 2000. So, because x = the number of years since 2000, which we have determined is 16, you need to substitute it for x in the equation.

So,

y = 426(16) + 5,356

REMINDER: The parenthesis tell you to multiply, so:

y = 426 × 16 = 6,816

6,816 + 5,356 = 12,172
