Rewrite equation so that it is homogeneous .

Solve characteristic equation:
The solutions to the homogeneous equation are:

Finally you need the constant term in "cy" to equal 'd' to satisfy the particular solution.
If we plug in 0 for x, we can receive the data for the year 1982. Doing so shows us that the Rural area was 1,417.4 million acres and the total area was 1,839.4 million acres. Therefore, we can conclude that the majority of the area of the United States was rural in 1982.
