Answer:
the linear equation is :
y= -2625x+5737875
and 440000 employees will be in year 2271
Step-by-step explanation:
in order to find the linerar equation let us first convert the given data into (x,y ) co-ordinates i.e
x1= 1987 y1= 522,000
and
x2= 2003, y2 = 480000
according to two point form:

In this example we have x1=1987 , y1=522000 , x2=2003 and y2=480000. So,

now to find the year when there will be 440000 employs working , we simply put y= 440000 in the above derived equation

Answer:
x > 
Step-by-step explanation:
given
2x > 7 ( isolate x by dividing both sides by 2 )
x > 
Answer: x<4
Given the inequality:

We want to solve the inequality for x.
First, distribute the bracket on the right side of the inequality.

Next, subtract 10x from both sides of the inequality.

Add 24 to both sides of the inequality.

Divide both sides of the inequality by 6.

The solution to the inequality is x<4.
