Answer 1

Answer:

Spending will be more than $59 billion more than 4 years after 2000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$y=11.3x + 13.8$

x is the number of years.

Business spending is $59 billion.

Hence we can say that y = $59.

Now Substituting the value of y in above equation we will find the value of x in number of years.

$11.3x+13.8=59\\11.3x=59-13.8\\ 11.3x= 45.2\\\\x=\frac{45.2}{11.3} = 4 years.$

Hence we can say that,

After 4 years after 2000 the spending will be more than $59 billion.

or

Spending will be more than $59 billion more than 4 years after 2000.
