Question

Town's population has been growing linearly. In 2003, the population was 20000, and the population has been growing by 1700 people each year.

Write an equation for the population x years after 2003

Answer 1

20,000+1,700x. Hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Answer: An equation for the population x years after 2003 is

`Population=20000+1700x`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Population in 2003 = 20000

Number of population growing each year = 1700

Let the number of years after 2003 be 'x'.

So, our equation becomes,

`Population=20000+1700x`

Hence, an equation for the population x years after 2003 is

`Population=20000+1700x`
