Answer:
5(-2w)-(5x4)
Step-by-step explanation:
So, here we have an exponential function.
Remember that an exponential function has the form:

Where a represents an initial amount, and r is the rate of this amount to change. (Increase, or decrease).
So, given that the population of City A in 2000 was 40 thousand people and the population increased by 13% each year, we can say that

So,

For city B:

But something different happens with city C. This is not an exponential function, this is a linear function.
So,

Do a proportion. 41/100= 83/x. Now cross multiply and divide. 83 x 100= 8300 , 8300 divided by 41= 202.439 (I would just round it to nearest tenth). Answer is 202.4
You have to start by using the distributive property on the left side.
3(2x-7)=5x+4
6x-21=5x+4 Then remove and combine alike terms.
+21 +21
6x=5x+25
-5x -5x
x=25
