You are baking cookies for a bake sale. It takes 30 minutes to mix the cookie dough and 10.5 minutes to bake a sheet of cookies. The total time can be modeled by t(x) = 10.5x+30, where x is the number of sheets of cookies baked. a. Graph the function and identify its domain and range. b. Find and interpret the value of x so that t(x) = 114.
