Answer 2

Solution: We are given that the population of Virginia is 8 million.

Let x be the population of Nevada.

We are given population of Virginia is 2.8 million less than 4 times the population of Nevada.

`\therefore 4x-2.8=8`

`4x=8+2.8`

`4x=10.8`

`x=(10.8)/(4) =2.7`

The first step is to on both sides.

add 2.8

The second step is to on both sides.

divide 4

The population of Nevada is million.
