0.0667x + 6 = 0.2x

6 = .1333x

x = 45.01

y = 0.0667(45.01) + 4
y = 7.002

y = 0.2(45.01) - 2
y= 7.002

Win...? Nevermind, I have the wrong idea there.

I think the answer is simpler than I thought:

y = 0.2667x + 2
i did the equal thing, but tht's not right i think.. how did u get the final answer?
