Multiply 4 with (2x-5)
8x-20+15=11
add 20 both sides
8x+15=31
subtract 15 both sides
8x=16
divide both sides by the x (8)
x=2
Let's first find the equation to find what the population went up to. X, will be the population of last year.
1.15x=76,894
Now, we need x by itself, so we need to divide both sides by 1.15.
76,894÷1.15≈66,864
There are decimals, but for this problem, hae .3478 of a person would not fit.
We can check our answer.
66,864×.15=10,029.6
10,029.6+66,864=76,893.6 (rounds up to 76,864)
So the population of the town last year was about 66,864 (66,864.3478) people.
<em>Heyo! ;D</em>
After evaluating the given expression, the result would be <em>14 - x.</em>

Hope this helped you! If so, please lmk! Tysm and good luck!
4(4)+ 2(-5) = 6
16+ (-10) = 6
10/18 because 18-8=10 and the total amount is 18 so the fraction is 10/18
