A) a. C(x) =1.25x+55.5C ( x ) = 1.25 x + 55.5
b. B(x) =0.33x+65.6B ( x ) = - 0.33 x + 65.6
c. {(6.5,63.4) }\{ ( 6.5,63.4 ) \} Midyear in 2,006 , the per capita consumption of beef and chicken was approximately equal at 63.4lb63.4 \mathrm { lb } each

B) a. C(x) =1.2x+55.6C ( x ) = 1.2 x + 55.6 ;
b. B(x) =0.34x+65.6B ( x ) = - 0.34 x + 65.6
c. {(6.5,63.4) }\{ ( 6.5,63.4 ) \} Midyear in 2,006 , the per capita consumption of beef and chicken was approximately equal at 63.4lb63.4 \mathrm { lb } each

C) a. C(x) =1.25x+55.5C ( x ) = 1.25 x + 55.5
b. B(x) =0.33x+65.6B ( x ) = - 0.33 x + 65.6
