Question

a town predicts that its population will double ein10/2lne years simplify the expression, in how many years will the population of the town double

Answer 1

Answer: $5$ years after the population will be doubled.

Explanation: According to the question, There is a town which population is increasing per year.

And, it will be doubled in $\frac{10}{2}$ years.

Therefore, it will be two times of its initial value after 10/2 years.

let after x years it is doubled,

Then $x=\frac{10}{2}$ $\implies x=\frac{5}{1} \implies x=5$

Answer 2

The town's population will double in 5 years. Simplifying 10 over 2 means dividing the numbers by 2, 10 divided by 2 is 5, and 2 divided by 2 is 1.

So the simplified answer is 5/1.
