Step-by-step explanation:
2x-8<12
+8<+8
2x<20

x<10
So, here we have an exponential function.
Remember that an exponential function has the form:

Where a represents an initial amount, and r is the rate of this amount to change. (Increase, or decrease).
So, given that the population of City A in 2000 was 40 thousand people and the population increased by 13% each year, we can say that

So,

For city B:

But something different happens with city C. This is not an exponential function, this is a linear function.
So,

<h3>Answer:</h3>
A) ∠A = ∠A' = 38° and ∠B = ∠B' = 42°
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
The sum of angles in ∆ABC is 180°, so ...
... (2x -2) + (2x +2) + (5x) = 180
... 9x = 180
... x = 20
and the angles of ∆ABC are ∠A = 38°, ∠B = 42°, ∠C = 100°.
___
The sum of angles of ∆A'B'C' is 180°, so ...
... (58 -x) +(3x -18) +(120 -x) = 180
... x +160 = 180
... x = 20
and ∠A' = 38°, ∠B' = 42°, ∠C' = 100°.
_____
The values of angle measures of ∆ABC match those of ∆A'B'C', so we can conclude ...
... A) ∠A = ∠A' = 38° and ∠B = ∠B' = 42°
