The equation would be 63500-700x=P, where 63500 is the original population, -700 is the amount the population decreases each year, x is the number of years, and P is the total population.
To answer the second part of the question, plug in 53000 for P and solve for x:
63500-700x=53000
<em>*Subtract 63500 from both sides*</em>
-700x=-10500
<em>*Divide both sides by -700*</em>
x=15
It would take 15 years for the population to drop to 53000.
Hope this helps!!
Answer:
Stat, non, non, stat
Step-by-step explanation:
Only answers with numbers as answers are statistical.

the equation is a quadratic one, and it has a positive coefficient on the leading term, meaning, is opening upwards, so it has a "burrow" for the vertex.
the minimum or lowest point for a quadratic opening upwards is, well, the vertex point :), the "x" value is the year, the "y" or f(x) value is the population, we're asked for the year, or the x-coordinate of the vertex
well
