One seventeenth of Rhode Island's population density minus 17 equals the population density of Colorado. What is Rhode Island's population density? the population density of colorado is 42.. so i think the equation would be 1/17 p-17=42?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly!Now solve for P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add 17 to 42 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! you should get 1/17p=59

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
