Answer:
D) 130 workers
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the equation, <em>y = 2x + 40</em>, and <em>y, 300</em> (since the y-coordinate represents the # of bottles made), so we can solve for x, <em>the number of workers needed</em>.
Substitute: <em>300 = 2x + 40</em>
Subtract: <em>260 = 2x</em>
Divide: <em>x = 130</em>
Since x = 130 when y = 300, 130 workers are required to make 300 bottles in a day.
