This breaks into two inequalities:
2x - 3 > 6
and
-2x + 3 > 6
------------------------
2x - 3 > 6
Add 3 to both sides:
2x > 9
Divide 2 to both sides:
x > 4.5
-----------------------
-2x + 3 > 6
Subtract 3 to both sides:
-2x > 3
Divide -2 to both sides:
x < -1.5
Answer:
The projected population for 2015 is around 83,600 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
If between 2005 and 2010, the population grew by 32,800 people, and the model of this problem is linear. Then that means in another 5 years, another 32,800 people would populate the area. Hopefully this makes sense!
