Question

For the love of god someone Help please, will give medal

4. The population of a city increases by 4,000 people each year. In 2025, 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 – 15)
p – 15 = 4(x – 450)
p = 4x + 15

Answer 1

this is confusing the h*ll out of me, but i can tell you its not A because the number 15 has to be in there somewhere (2025-2010) and thats the only one without 15 in it

Answer 2

ikr, I hate this problem...

Answer 3

and its not D because where tf did the number 4 come from

Answer 4

how many years after 2010 is2025?

Answer 5

if i had to guess id say B but im only about 70% sure lol

Answer 6

15

Answer 7

ok, so now, whaqt should p = in 2025?

Answer 8

what*

Answer 9

if you think about it C doesnt make any sense because why would it be p-15 (people minus a number of years) and x-450 (years minus people)

equations dont work like the people should be with number of people, and years be with number of years, if that makes any sense
