Question

Please help me!!
The population of a city increases by 4,000 people each year. In 2015, the population is projected to be 450,000 people. What is an equation that gives the city’s population p (in thousands of people) x years after 2010?
p = 4x + 50
p – 450 = 4(x – 5)
p – 15 = 4(x – 450)
p = 4x + 15
