You have to find the equation that would fit the situation which would be 57,000+800x= population. Then the difference in the years from the year you are trying to figure out to 1980 is plugged in for x. so you would do 2015-1980=35 you would then plug in 35 of x in the equation. 57,000+800(35)=85,000.
