The number of parking spots (y) in the local town (x) years from now can be modeled by the equation below. How many spots are there right now?
Y = 1000x + 6000
A. 1000
B. 6000
To find the number of spots right now, you need to substitute 0 for x in the equation:
Y = 1000(0) + 6000
Simplifying:
Y = 0 + 6000
Y = 6000
Therefore, there are 6000 spots right now.
The correct answer is B. 6000.
