Answer:

2002 pounds

Explanation:

To know the weight of the plane, we need to find an equation that relates the amount of fuel to the weight.

This equation can be founded using the following

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where m is the slope, x1 is the number of gallons and y1 is the respective weight. So, replacing m = 6.0, x1 = 51 gallons and y1 = 2206 pounds, we get:

y-2206=6(x-51)

Now, we can solve for y

\begin{gathered} y-2206=6(x)-6(51) \\ y-2206=6x-306 \\ y=6x-306+2206 \\ y=6x+1900 \end{gathered}

Then, we can calculate the weight of an airplane with 17 gallons of fuel replacing x = 17 on the equation above

y = 6x + 1900

y = 6(17) + 1900

y = 102 + 1900

y = 2002

Therefore, the answer is 2002 pounds
