If the population of a town grew 11% up to 5,173, what was the population last year?

The answer is Population = P (?)

P+ P(0.11) = 5,173

P+ 0.11P = 5,173

1.11P = 5,173

1.11P/1.11 = 5,173 /1.11

P=5,173 /1.11

P=4,660

The last population was 4,660

4660 + 11% (That is equal to 512.6) = 5,173

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

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
