when the two books were published
Answer:
between 222 and 223 days
Step-by-step explanation:
This relation includes the point (0, 2).
A proportional relation must include the point (0, 0).
This is not proportional, but it may be linear.
Points: (0, 2), (2, 20)
y = mx + b
20 = (20 - 2)/(2 - 0) × 2 + b
20 = 18/2 × 2 + b
b = 2
y = 18x + 2
When 4000 people know, y = 4000.
y = 18x + 2
4000 = 18x + 2
3998 = 18x
x = 3998/18
x = 222.111...
