a school population was predicted to increase by 50 students a year for the next ten years if the current population is 700 students what will the enrollment be after ten years
You can write an equation for this problem: y = 700 + 50x. y is the predicted population, and x is the number of years. To solve the problem, plug in 10 as your x value. 50 × 10 = 500. 700 + 500 = 1200. In ten years, there will be 1200 students.
