55. If x is the number of years after 1990, and if y = 138.2x + 97.87, then the expenditures for health care will exceed $4658.5 billion is given by: 138.2 x  97.87  4658.5 138.2 x  4560.63 x  33.0002  33 years after 1990

Therefore, 33 years from 1990 is after 2023. 56. Since "at least" implies greater than

or equal to, B ( x) ≥ 13.44. Thus, 0.057 x + 12.3 ≥ 13.44 0.057 x ≥ 1.14 1.14 0.057 x ≥ 20

x≥

Thus, the percent of blacks is at least 13.44%, 20 years after 1990, on or after the year 2010.
