no i think because theres a negative

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
Answer:
x=5
y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
The substitution method is considered easier because of its simplification.
2x-3y=7 (1)
x+2y=7 (2)
considering equation (2),
x = 7 - 2y (3)
using the value of "x" in (1)
2 (7-2y) - 3y=7
14 - 4y- 3y = 7
14 - 7y = 7
7y = 14 - 7
7y = 7
y = 1 (4)
substituting this value of "y" in (3)
x = 7- 2(1)
x = 5
