The equation would be 63500-700x=P, where 63500 is the original population, -700 is the amount the population decreases each year, x is the number of years, and P is the total population.


To answer the second part of the question, plug in 53000 for P and solve for x:

63500-700x=53000

<em>*Subtract 63500 from both sides*</em>

-700x=-10500

<em>*Divide both sides by -700*</em>

x=15


It would take 15 years for the population to drop to 53000.


Hope this helps!!

2. Find the product (2x + 3)(3x - 2).
eimsori [14]

Answer:

6x² + 5x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(2x + 3)(3x - 2)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

2x(3x - 2) + 3(3x - 2) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 6x² - 4x + 9x - 6 ← collect like terms

= 6x² + 5x - 6

Evaluate the expression:<br><br> for y = 2 + 3x when x=4. What does y=?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 4 as x into the equation:

y = 2 + 3x

y = 2 + 3(4)

Simplify:

y = 2 + 12

y = 14

So, when x = 4, y = 14.
