Hello, today we are looking at systems of equations and inequalities.
00:05
And in this problem, this is part three of the three -part problem, and we're looking at the population size of new york and texas.
00:14
And we already have an equation that represents new york.
00:18
And we want to know if the population size of new york will overtake the population size of texas.
00:25
Well, in order to answer this problem, let's go ahead and first write a linear equation for texas.
00:32
So when we're looking at our data table, we see that texas increases, population size increases by 447 ,000 each year, and that its population size starts at 22 ,118 ,000.
01:00
So we know that from our, that y equals mx plus b, where m is the slope, and b is the y intercept, which in this case represents the year 2003.
01:21
So when we're comparing just the y intercepts, we can see, like our problem hints at, that texas already has a bigger population by about 3 million...
