Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The points shown in the graph represent the per capita consumption of chicken and beef in a country x years after the year 2000. Yearly Per Capita Consumption of Chicken and Beef

a. Use the given data points to write a linear function that approximates per capita consumption of Chicken C(x) (in lb) at a time x years since the year 2000.
b. Use the given data points to write a linear function that approximates per capita consumption of Beef B(x) (in lb) at a time x years since the year 2000.
c. Approximate the solution to the system of linear equations defined by the functions from parts (a)
And (b) . Round to 1 decimal place. Interpret the meaning of the solution to the system.

A) a. $C ( x ) = 1.25 x + 55.5$
b. $B ( x ) = - 0.33 x + 65.6$
c. $\{ ( 6.5,63.4 ) \}$ Midyear in 2,006 , the per capita consumption of beef and chicken was approximately equal at $63.4 \mathrm { lb }$ each

B) a. $C ( x ) = 1.2 x + 55.6$ ;
b. $B ( x ) = - 0.34 x + 65.6$
c. $\{ ( 6.5,63.4 ) \}$ Midyear in 2,006 , the per capita consumption of beef and chicken was approximately equal at $63.4 \mathrm { lb }$ each
