Answer 1

Solution: We are given that the population of Virginia is 8 million.

Let x be the population of Nevada.

We are given population of Virginia is 2.8 million less than 4 times the population of Nevada.

$\therefore 4x-2.8=8$

      $4x=8+2.8$

      $4x=10.8$

      $x=\frac{10.8}{4} =2.7$

The first step is to on both sides.

add 2.8

The second step is to on both sides.

divide 4

The population of Nevada is million.
