    A. Y = 6X+30, where Y is cost and X is number of years

    B. 726 cents

    Step-by-step explanation:

    For A,

    since, in each year, cost is constantly rising at about 6 cents, so the relation is linear. Cost for the any given year, cost will be raised cost multiply by number of years and remember that you have to add up the initial cost always.

    If Y is the cost to be calculated and X is number of years after 1904, the relation will be

    Y = 6X + 30

    For example, in 1909, the number of years will be '5' and cost will be

    Y = (6) (5) + 30

    Y = 60 cents

    Note that the cost will be in cents, You have to divide it by 100 to get the answer in Dollars ($).

    For B.

    To find cost in 2020, we have to use the same formula here

    For 1904 to 2020, total years are 116

    Now,

    Y = 6X + 30

    Y = (6) (116) + 30

    Y = 726 cents

    The linear equation could be y=6x+30

    Step-by-step explanation:

    where x represents the number of years since 1904. there fore to find the dictionary after 2004 then you woud make x=100 then you can solve for y which would be the cost of the dictionary in cents.
