A small rural town has experienced growth at a rate of 50 people per year since 2000. If the population of the town in 2000 was 600, which of the following equations represents the town's population as a function of time? (Assume 2000 is represented by x = 0, 2001 is represented by x = 1, and so on).
A.
50x + y = 600
B.
50x – y = –600
C.
x + 50y = 600
D.
x – 50y = 600

B; 50x – y = –600

Step-by-step explanation:

rate of growth is 50 people per year

50x

you started with 600

y=50x+600

50x-y= -600

-y= -50x-600

y=50x+600

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
