in 2003 the population of zimbawe was about 12.6 million people wich is 1 million more than 4 times the population in1950.write and solve an equation to find the approximate populating p of the Zimbabwe in 1950

Respuesta :

12.6 million = 4p + 1 million
to solve:
12.6 million - 1 million = 4p + 1 million - 1 million
11.6 million/4 = 4p/4
2.9 million = p
the population in 1950 was approximately 2.6 million
