A certain country has 130.41 million acres of forest. Every year, the country loses 1.61 million acres of forest mainly due to deforestation for farming purposes. If this situation continues at this pace, how many years later will the country have only 70.84 million acres of forest left? (Use an equation to solve this problem.)

After_______ years, this country would have 70.84 million acres left

Respuesta :

Let years be x

[tex]\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 130.41-1.61x=70.84[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 1.61x=130.41-70.84[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 1.61x=59.57[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\hookrightarrow x=59.57/1.61[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\hookrightarrow x=37years[/tex]
