The number of students enrolled in 2012 is approximately 17,400,000 to the nearest 100,000

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 0.1967x + 15.66

x = years since 2003

y = number of students enrolled in millions

In 2012, x = 9 (2012 is 9 years from 2003)

y = 0.1967 (9) + 15.66

y = 1.7703 + 15.66 = 17.4303 millions = 17,430,300 = 17,400,000 to the nearest 100,000
