The equation y = 9.56x + 495.35 represents the number of calories, y, consumed in one day based on a person's weight, x. Jill consumes 1850 calories daily. Jaxon weighs 120 pounds. Which is an accurate comparison?

We have the expression for a number of calories versus person's weight. The expression is y = 9.56x + 495.35.

When Jill consumes 1850 calories, her weight is:

1850 = 9.56 x + 495.35

x = 141.7 pounds

When Jaxon is 120 pounds, the calories that he consumed is:

y = 9.56 (120) + 495.35

y = 1,635.35 calories

Therefore, Jill is heavier and with greater consumption of calories.
