size over time. How long would it take for the population to drop to 53,000?

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!!

What is the difference between a copyright and a trademark, and how are they used to protect intellectual property?
kirill [66]

Answer: Copyright protects original work, whereas a trademark protects items that distinguish or identify a particular business from another.

The trademark laws protect the product or service name and any slogans used in the advertising, while the copyright laws protect the additional creative written expression contained in the ad. Hope this helps!
