Answer :

Answer:

a. 105 and 115 employees

b. 185 employees

c. 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of employees at any given year is y

x is the number of year

then y = 85 + 10x

a. 2nd year: y = 85 + 10(2) = 85 + 20 = 105

   3rd year: y = 85 + 10(3) = 85 + 30 = 115

b. 10th year: y = 85 + 10(10) = 85 + 100 = 185

c: if y = 285

285 = 85 + 10x

10x = 285 - 85

10x = 200

x = 20
