According to the 2000 Census the population of Canton was 7,720. Holly Spring's population was 3,200. Canton's population increases at a rate of 80 people a year and Holly Spring's population increases by 120 people a year. Which equation may be used to determine the number of years before the populations are equal?
A.200x = 10920
B.7720 + 12x = 3200 + 80x
C.7720x + 80 = 3200x + 120
D.7720 + 80x = 3200 + 120x

So you need to translate each cities population growth into an equation

danjs · Answer

Cantons Population at Any Time(t) = (Initial Population) + (yearly increase)*t

danjs · Answer

Holy Springs Population at time t = (initial polulation) + (Yearly change)*t
