(Modeling) Solve each problem.

Corn Production The linear equation

y = 1.311x + 68.28

gives an approximation of the number of acres of corn, in millions, harvested annually in the U.S, where x = 1 represents 2001, x = 2 represents 2002, and so on. (Source: Statistical Abstract of the United States.)

(a) Write an equation that yields the same y-values when the exact year is entered.

(b) Approximate the number of acres of corn harvested in 2003.
