Answer:
subtract 12 from 18
Step-by-step explanation:
No real "first step" as there are many ways to do it. If I were to do it, I would add the y to the other side to make it positive. This thus eliminates any negative variables in the equation
ez
the answer would be -1,224 because the parentheses is your multiplication and the it is a negative
Population t years after 2000 = 736,000 × 1.0149^t
736,000 × 1.0149^t = 1,000,000
1.0149^t = 1,000,000/736,000 = 125/92
Take log base 1.0149 of both sides
t ≈ 20.7
Population exceeds a million in 2021
