A population of cheetahs has a birth rate of 5 and a death rate of 15. Immigration is 2, and emigration is 4. What is its population growth?

since the death rate is higher than the birth rate we can assume that it will be negative. 5-15 is -10 for their life. immigration is also lower than the emigration. 2-4 is -2. adding -2 and -10 will give us -12, hope this helps.
