Atown has a population of 17000 and grows at 3% every year. what will be the population after 7 years, to the nearest whole number?

20,908 to nearest whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

We multiply by 1.03  ( because its 100 + 3 per cent) , for every year.

So it is 17,000 * 1.03^7

= 20,908

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10
