We modeled milk and soda consumption earlier in the term. For this problem, use these equations: M=36.2−0.268⋅tM=36.2-0.268⋅t S=10.6+0.772⋅tS=10.6+0.772⋅t where t is years since 1950 M is gallons of milk consumed by one person in a year S is gallons of soda consumed by one person in a year Use algebra to determine the following. Show your work on paper, with correct notation. Take a scan/photo to upload here using the mountain icon or cut and paste. Be sure your upload is readable. When would the amount of milk be the same as the amount of soda consumed (on average)?
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
