the math behind it:
your equation looks like this: .25x = 10
then you divide both sides by .25 and then ur equation looks like this: x=40
by the way the variable x stands for the number you are looking for. and since x=40, the number you are looking for is 40
well i hope i helped!

In 2003 a town’s population was 1431. By 2007 the population had grown to 2134. Assume the population is changing linearly.How m

sergiy2304 [10]

We will have the following:

First, we will have that the population change by:

$\Delta P=2134-1431\Rightarrow\Delta P=703$

So, the population changed by 703 people.

It took the follwoing number of years to change from 1431 to 2134:

$\Delta y=2007-2003\Rightarrow\Delta y=4$

So, it took 4 years to changes from 1431 to 2134.

$m=\frac{2134-1431}{2007-2003}\Rightarrow m=175.75$

The average population growth per year is of 175.75 people per year.

The population in 2000 would have been:

$P_{2000}=\frac{2000\cdot1431}{2003}\Rightarrow P_{2000}=1428.856715\ldots$

$\Rightarrow P_{2000}\approx1429$

So, the population in 2000 would have been approximately 1429 people.

We will have that the equation for the population would be:

$P=(\frac{2134-1431}{2007-2003})t+1429\Rightarrow P=\frac{703}{4}t+1429$

So, the equation would be:

$P=175.75t+1429$

Now, we predict the number of people of the town in 2014:

$P_{2014}=175.75(14)+1429\Rightarrow P_{2014}=3889.5$

$\Rightarrow P_{2014}\approx3890$

So, there will be approximately 3890 people of the town in 2014.
