2000 × 15% = 300
300 × 5 = 1500
2000 - 1500 = 500 population after 5 years
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the expression:

To simplify, simply combine the like terms. Therefore:

Further notes:
To understand why we can combine like terms in the first place, we just need to use the distributive property. So we have the expression:

Now, factor out a y from the three terms:

Do all the operations inside the parenthesis:

And we moved the y back to the front!
This is the same result as before. When combining like terms, this is what we're essentially doing but without doing the distributive property manually. I hope you understand a bit better on how and why we can combine like terms!
I think you can solve it by
=(x^2 - y^2) *( x^2 + y^2)
= (x -y)*(x+y)*(x^2 + y^2)
One form of the relation of inverse variation is y = k/x.
first step: Find the value of k: Taking the values x=5 and y = 4, 4=k/5, or k=20. Then, y = 20/x.
Next: Let y = 7 and find the corresp. value of x: 7=20/x, or 7x=20, or
x = 20/7 (answer)
