-x<-x+7(x-2)
-x<-x+7x-14 Distribute the 7
-x<6x-14 Combine like terms
-7x<-14 Move all variables to one side
x>2 Divide by -7 to isolate the variable
Answer: Approximately 390,244 people per square mile
Work Shown:
Density = population/area
Density = (8 million people)/(20.5 square miles)
Density = 390,243.9024 approximately
This rounds to 390,244 since we're talking about the number of people.
