Twin Rivers has a population of 90,800, and its population has been increasing by 800 people each year. White Stone has a population of 87,200, and its population has been increasing by 1,200 people each year. These trends in population change are expected to continue.Which equation can you use to find t, the number of years it will take for the two cities to have the same population?Choices:(A) 90,800+800t=87,200+1,200t(B) 90,800−800t=87,200+1,200tHow long will it take for the two cities to have the same population?Simplify any fractions.____ years
Q. Twin Rivers has a population of 90,800, and its population has been increasing by 800 people each year. White Stone has a population of 87,200, and its population has been increasing by 1,200 people each year. These trends in population change are expected to continue.Which equation can you use to find t, the number of years it will take for the two cities to have the same population?Choices:(A) 90,800+800t=87,200+1,200t(B) 90,800−800t=87,200+1,200tHow long will it take for the two cities to have the same population?Simplify any fractions.____ years
Identify equation: Identify the correct equation to represent the situation where both cities will have the same population in t years.
Solve for t: Solve for t from the equation 90,800+800t=87,200+1,200t.
Isolate t: Isolate t on one side of the equation.
Divide to solve: Divide both sides by 400 to solve for t.
