The equation y = 0.08x + 0.83 estimates the number of homeschooled children in the u. s., in millions, where x is the number of years after 1999. (source: department of education’s national center for education statistics). for what years will the number of homeschooled children exceed 2.0 million?

Given that the equation y = 0.08x + 0.83 estimates the number of homeschooled children in the U.S., in millions, where x is the number of years after 1999.

To find the number of years that it will take for the number of homeschooled children  to exceed 2.0 million, we solve the inequality:
 

Therefore, it will take approximately 15 years for the number of homeschooled children  to exceed 2.0 million.
