On the basis of projections for the year 2022, the number of women and men in the workforce (in millions) can be estimeted by Women: -7x+16y=1070 Men: -5x+10y=759 where x=14 correspondds to the year 2014. According to these models, will the number of women in the workforce equal the number of men during the time period from 2014 to 2022 (that is, 14 ≤ x ≤22)?
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.
