Q: Write expressions for each population if x represents the number of years
And What is the current population of dekalb?

Answer 1

Dekalb: 3500+40x = F

Sycamores : 12,040 - 100x = F

Explanation:

These expressions can be used to explain each population

X = number of years for both expression

F = Final population

Dekalb: 3500+40x = F

Sycamores : 12,040 - 100x = F

The current population if 3500 if no years have gone by, plug in the year of numbers for X to find final population after the amount of years.
