Your boss hands you the monthly data that show the number of orders coming in to and out of the warehouse. the data are in the table below. explain to your boss, in complete sentences, the solution to this system and what the solution represents.

The number of orders coming into the warehouse is linearly related to the month :

y = no. of orders coming into the warehouse
x = no. of the month
Hence, y = 2x

The number of orders coming out of the warehouse is linearly related to the month :

z = no. of orders coming out of the warehouse
x = no. of the month
Hence, z = x + 2

Hope this helps. - M

The number of orders in are linearly related to the month
and the number of orders out. are linearly related to the month:

y = 2 x , where y is the number of orders in, and x is the number of the month

z = x + 2, where z is the number of orders out, and x is the number of the month.
