The Department of Streets of a city has a budget of $1,962,800 for resurfacing roads and hiring additional

workers this year.

The cost of resurfacing a mile of 2-lane road is estimated at $84,000. The average starting salary of a worker in the department is $36,000 a year.

Your equation that represents the relationship between the miles of 2-lane roads the department could resurface, `x`, and the number of new workers it could hire, `y`, if it spends the entire budget.

Take the equation you wrote in the first question and solve for `y`. Explain what the solution represents in this situation.
