We can withdraw a equation to give mexico population
P = M.(1 + i)^t
So,
First of all, how many years passed? 2015 - 2000 = 15. Our time is 15, our annual rate is 1,7%, time to calc.
P = 100350000.(1 + 1,7%)^15
1,7% = 0,017
P = 100350000.(1 + 0,017)^15
P = 100350000.(1,017)^15
P = 100350000.1,2876988084901218382866596204289
P = 129220575,43198372647206629291004
Rounding
P = 129,220,575
First, construct two equations.
Then, equal the two equations to each other like this -
x will be the years.
Type A. Type B
3x + 15 = 4x + 10
- 15. - 15
3x = 4x - 5
-4x. -4x
-x = -5
-x/-1 = -5/-1
x = 5
Check:
3(5) + 15 = 4(5) + 10
15 + 15 = 20 + 10
30 = 30
Therefore, the trees will be the same height in 5 years.
