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. month no. of orders in no. of orders out january (1) 3 1 february (2) 4 3 march (3) 5 5 april (4) 6 7

Month                 No. of orders in         No. of orders out
January (1)             3                                     1
February (2)           4                                     3
March (3)                5                                      5
April (4)                   6                                      7

Number of orders in = number of month + 2

f(x) = x + 2.

Number of orders out = 2 number of month + 1

g(x) = 2x - 1

So, in words, the numbers of orders in is equal to the number of month plus 1. This represents a linear function, with slope 1 and y-intercept 2. And the numbers of orders out is also a linear function with slope 2 and y-intercpet - 1.
