Answer:
The number of homes in 2011 is 44,313
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that 57 homes are built each year, in 2002, there were 43,800 homes, then the next years have the number of homes as follows:
2003: 43,800 + 57
2004: 43,800 + 57 + 57
2005: 43,800 + 57 + 57 + 57
This goes on until 43,800 + 57n
where n is the number of years after 2002.
2011 is 9 years after 2002, so the number of homes will be:
43,800 + 57(9)
= 43,800 + 513
= 44,313
