Answer:-
[tex]11.4 + 0.5y = 9.9 + 0.6y[/tex] , then the two states have the same population.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let y represents the number of years
As per the statement:
In 2000, Ohio's population was 11.4 million and and increasing by 0.5 million each year.
⇒ [tex]11.4 + 0.5y[/tex]
and
also, it is given that: Michigan's population was 9.9 million, increasing by 0.6 million each year.
⇒ [tex]9.9 + 0.6y[/tex]
When two states have the same population.
then the equation : [tex]11.4 + 0.5y = 9.9 + 0.6y[/tex].
Answer:
In 15 years the population will be same.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let y represent the number of years.
In 2000, Ohio's population was 11.4 million and and increasing by 0.5 million each year.
[tex]x=11.4+0.5y[/tex]
Michigan's population was 9.9 million, increasing by 0.6 million each year.
[tex]x=9.9+0.6y[/tex]
We have to tell that when will the two years have the same population, so we will put both equations equal.
[tex]11.4+0.5y=9.9+0.6y[/tex]
=> [tex]11.4-9.9=0.6y-0.5y[/tex]
=> [tex]0.1y=1.5[/tex]
So, y = 15
Therefore, in 15 years the population will be same.
