the population of two towns were equal in a particular year. subsequently the population of one town increases by 8 % and the po
pulation of the other town decreases by 6%. then the population of the two town together was 45854. what was the population of each town in that particular year when population of both of the towns were equal?
Ooh, this is a tough one. I'll try my best to answer.
Ok, for the town that decreased in population it would of gone to <span>21551.38 citizens. For the one that increased in population by 8% it would be </span><span>24761.16.
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables. We have then: x: number of pens y: number of pencils We now write the system of inequations: The solution to the system of inequations is given by the shaded region. Note: see attached image.
