Bridges Needing Repair. The number of U.S. bridges in need of repair has been declining recently. In 2000, 89,460 bridges were labeled structurally deficient. By 2016, this number had dropped to 56,000. Let

a. Find a linear function that fits the data.
b. Use the function of part (a) to estimate the number of bridges in need of repair in 2008.
c. At this rate of decrease, when will the number of bridges in need of repair reach 48,000?
