The information provided is:
- The population of Metro City is 7420.
- The population is decreasing by 152 people per year.
- The population of Smallville is consistently 1200 less than half of Metro City.
From the provided data derive the equation for the population of Smallville <em>x</em> years after as follows:
The population of Smallville is 2282 after <em>x</em> years.
Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:
Thus, the time it will take for Smallville's population to reach 2282 is 3 years.
