2. A newly appointed school district superintendent releases a plan for the next 20 years that affects the schools within the boundaries of the district.
In this plan, there is new policy that states that if a high school has less
than 100 students, then the school will be shut down. Calamanco High
School has a population of 1,417 students, but it is losing students at an
average rate of 109 students per year. This school used to house more
than 5,000 students but the district has been struggling in recent years and
losing people to more affluent nearby districts and cities. Some
communities are concerned about this decreasing rate because there
will be a time when the district may shut the school down. Let x represent
the number of full years that the school is operational.
