A town's population is 57,000. About 75 people move out of the town each month. Each month, 200
people on average move into town. A nearby town has a population of 61,200. It has no one moving
in and an average of 175 people moving away every month. In about how many months will the
populations of the towns be equal? Write an equation to model the situation. Then solve the equation
and answer the question,
Which equation models the situation?
OA. 200m + 75m + 57,000 = 61,200 + 175m
OB. 200m - 75m + 61,200 = 57,000 - 175m
OC. 200m - 75m + 57,000 = 61,200 - 175m
OD. 200m + 75m + 61,200 = 57,000 + 175m
