Solve the following equation: -4x - 6 = 10 4 -4 1 -1

The lead executive's statement is true and the approximate year where the revenues were equal was the 7th year (around the second half of it)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-axis of the graph represents the years while the y-axis represents the revenues in millions of dollars.

a) Looking at the graphic, specifically the 14 year, we can see that the revenues for printed ads are below the 2 million dollars, while the revenues for online ads are above the 4 million dollars. Therefore, the lead executive statement is true since 4 million dollars is more than double than the less than 2 million dollars from printed ads.

b) On the other hand, we can determine when the 2 revenues were equal by taking a look at where both of the lines cross. We can see that this happens between years 6 and 8, more specifically closer to the 8th year, so we can conclude that the revenues were equal around the 7th year.
