A town has a population of 19000 and grows at 4.5% every year. To the nearest tenth of a year, how long will it be until the population will reach 33700?

If the population grows by 4% each year then

the population in any given year is 104% of

the previous year or 1.04 times as much

P(t) = P0(1.04)t

P(t) is population at time t years

P0 = initial population = 11,000

t = number of years = 15

P(15) = 11,000(1.04)15

P(15) = 19,810 people

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
